Surely if it confirms the rumours then it is true?

I meant that I was told they were going to put an E200 on the 38.

IS there any insider stuff happening at PB apart from what bus is on on which route? I'm  being serious, because we used to get a lot of it, not just PB btw.

What do you mean?

I mean in these garage threads we used to get interesting NXWM insight into what is going on, nowadays it just seems to be bus spotting which I know has always been part of the forum group, but i my humble view that's all it is these days and it's a bit, how can i put it one dimensional. I don't know if anyone else shares my view, but just putting it out there and not meaning to cause any issues btw.

I agree with you to be honest. I'd say flat.

Glad it's not just me, open to a bit of healthy debate if people disagree.

It's a thread about the garage. Beyond repaints and a couple of slightly noteworthy buses on particular routes, nothing really happens these days as it is

Your bang on but then again bar your normal daily operations, I don't see much else happening in a garage.

Does anyone have any trivia regarding PB, I know it used to be larger but a portion of its land has been sold off.

Didn't it used to have a small series of roads around the back that were used exclusively for training??

Yes, prospective trainees had their initial assessment there. This was to see if they were suitable for training in the old WMPTE days.

I agree too, I was always taught "if you've nothing interesting to say, then say nothing". Not wanting to single out any individuals, but I feel there are those here that just post stuff for the sake of doing so.

11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
