Perry Barr Garage

[BU07 LGO]

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

I can see his point, it had brand new  tridents in 2003 and now still has 2003 buses

I didn't see any whilst in city earlier. Only routes I saw them on was the 16 and 101

Are the ex PN Enviros being used on the 67?

Occasionally. Now the Artics are gone, the 67 seems to get anything left in the garage

DAMN RIGHT lol, and no branded since then and certain less busy or as busy without competition just get treated and treated bla bla bla.

With reference to frequency that is ((*&^ was  always a 10 mins + for years even 4mins with the 94E and single deck days.

In a way though it's good because it's helping claribels to thrive

I could go into the upgrades and attention that's been received on some of routes in East Birmingham. But I won't bother.

Even SWB E200s?

I mainly see B7TL and Enviros on the 16, that's actually all I see

That must have been a long time ago, because when Lea Hall closed, it was every 9.

I know this might sound stupid but can i ask... What is an upgraded route ?!

When a route received a bus(es) that are newer and/or better than the previously used buses. For instance, replacing unrefurbished  '51 ALX400/B7s for newly refurbished '03/'53 Geminis.

Thanks but what are gold and platinum routes ?!

[monkeyjoe]

Depends what you consider an upgrade, seems to be very inconsistent with NXWM and applied to certain routes (that bit is consistent).

Platinum routes are high spec wifi, better seating and new livery. They are coming onto x51, 934/5/6, 900, 957 and 997. Gold corridors are high frequency route i.e. no 9, no 50 etc

Thanks ! I would surmise that the 97 route is also a gold corridor as well then.

For platinum routes, wouldn't that require new buses for the implementation of those technologies ?!

New buses for the Platinum routes (in a new livery) are due later in the year!

I take it your referring Enviro 400 MMC and if so, I had no idea that BC will be getting them !
