Perry Barr Garage

4805 has been parked in garage for the last 2 days. Looks like it is here for work to be carried out, but it has gained a Coventry blue front grille. Looks quite funny actually

@John - did you take a picture?

Also, in related news, 4828 is on one of it's allocated services, the 101...

No unfortunately I wasn't able to, it is in one of the engineering bays, and I was in a rush. I don't know if it is here just for work to be carried out, or one of the ones we are expecting soon

I may have chance to bend my way back to The Bagot one last time tonight then!

The 654 is to become the 54/A Hamstead to One Stop only, and the Aston - Perry Barr bit is to become the 68A/C and a circular by the looks of it

Is that made up, confused.

[Liberator9]

Why would it be made up?  ???

Makes sense - assume it is to try and improve reliability on the route. Will this 68A/C run up the Birchfield Road to and from Aston/Perry Barr to make it a circular?

[monkeyjoe]

I meant just seemed a bit random and what is the info source. Also I thought Circulars are not the done thing due to reliability , where else is the re born 68a/c going to go. Don't believe it to be honest. 94 will get new buses before that happens.

[John]

Not made up, notice in garage this evening. It seems to be from the 9th Feb

[monkeyjoe]

Interesting, i take it all back.

Might be a few other changes I notice the 71 is getting a new timetable. Not much publicity for something happening so close.

[37351ml]

I wonder if the changes on the 654 are to do with reliability issues. Since  the start of January the services i have seen in the evening peak are often running very late and in convoy. Splitting the service into two separate routes may eradicate this.
