As the 7 is commonly getting enviro's on is that route getting upgraded to Enviro 400's instead of the 101?

The 101 has had quite a lot of E400's recently

E400's will be commonplace on the 7,16 and 101 from now on

Will the Geminis remain on the 94 then ?!

The 101 & 7 getting upgraded above the 94 takes the (*&*^%^%&(* ) ss, the 16 I get. Further illustrates central regions managements contempt for the Castle Brom corridor.

The 94 gets the best buses in the fleet, you have no reason to complain.

Is 29 enough to cover the PVR of all 3 routes?

"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A

I have seen a few 61 plates on the 16 recently, and some Ticket Branded Enviros...

Are they getting 29? If so how can Pensnett manage with only 22 double deck replacements. Unless the 7 new Enviro 200s replace double deckers.......still doesn't cover 4135 moving though.

Certainly seems that way when you consider the fleet numbers of the Enviros that have already transferred, time will tell though I suppose

Maybe staff changes have resulted in less OCD about blocks of numbers - as you say, time will tell. They do seem to be transferring out from Pensnett the same number of new buses coming in.

My point is about attention and upgrades, that's my view and will not change.

I think that all 29 E400s will transfer over from PE and there will probably have to be a double move somewhere to displace a few Tridents for PE!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

If you remember correctly, the 94 has been upgraded. The frequency has also been upped in recent times, I wouldn't say it hasn't received either of those in the past few years
