Just been chatting to a driver I know. Word is 6 duties are going to PB. Also PB might be getting the 966 back.

Would there be any room for the 11 at PB?

Well the bendies have gone so they should have room.

The PVR of the 11 is much higher than 11 (the amount of bendies that PB had I think)

6 duties wouldn't need around 50 buses?
If PB do get any I would of thought the route would be split between PB and AG

Oh, I didn't see that, my bad ::)

Any idea when this is too happen?

I doubt PB would get anything on the 11, unless new school journeys were started. Reason being, AVL for the 11 is based at AG, and it'd surely complicate things if another garage were running parts of it, due to communication. They'd have to join AG and PB's radio then.

There was a time when I believe the 11C was covered by PB & the 11A was covered by AG in the days of WMT/Buses/TWM not sure when AG took over the whole route. Someone may be able to clarify exact dates for the change over

Around 2005? Was not long after the branded Geminis arrived.

Cheers @Gareth I was not sure if that was around the time when the BX54 Gem's came into service or not  thanks

Looking at Tony's photos of the BX54 batch, the ones new to PB transferred to AG in around July 2005
