Neither, they are stored at the old Lea Hall garage.

I thought that was sold off ?!

I don't know exact details of the sale or usage, but NXWM still use part of the garage for some of the reserve fleet.

Only the side get when turning in from cole hall, but a lot of it is fenced off. Normally see a load of mercs at the side.

Some sort of minor diversion on the Sutton routes outbound from the City Centre tonight (Sunday) as Corporation Street by Aston University was closed. My 18:00 914 (4489) was late arriving at the Square Peg and didn't depart until 18:15, outward via Newtown Row and Newtown Middleway, joining the Aston Expressway at Dartmouth Circus.

A crane was being removed from a building site opposite Aston University yesterday so the road was closed all day till 7pm. A quite hectic day yesterday, also at 5pm the Expressway was a car park, so we were using Lichfield Road, plus 907s were unable to serve New Oscott Tesco due to an accident by Aldi on Chester Road

On 4480 and we left town 10-15 minutes late on the 907A. Driver managed to do the Birchfield straight in about 5-10 minutes and we're now on time!

The Real 4778

Loving the chilled-out maths in that last remark!
Don't you start.

In reality it was the 07:50 journey which left 6 minutes late at 07:56 and arrived at Wellhead Lane at 08:09 3 minutes late

I'm noticing the 907A is starting to disappear on stops going towards Sutton. Are NXWM scrapping the morning 907A's or changing it's route?

John

4806 and 4812 are on the 16
