Re 4496 on the 'Oddities' thread, why wasn't the advert frames removed, before repainting into Crimson?

The advert frames never get taken off unless the panels underneath need replacing. If you took them off you end up with more rivet holes for water ingress

They have their own 54. Anyway I'm pretty sure all the boards start and end in One Stop so dead mileage.

Not got much information but currently a notice in WB garage looking for drivers to go on a separate rota for the Perry bar 54.

Where would the Streetlites go? I thought the reason why they swapped the E200's and Streetlite's is because they didn't want to mix the two types.

Why not? Sounds weird. I guess they could move them to AG to run on the 32 and bring e200s over but I'm not sure they'd fit down some of the tight roads it uses around Handsworth Wood.

You mean the E200s that ran the route before the StreetLites?

What's the reason to transfer to West Brom?

My bad. I meant the mmcs not the ds.

To send all of you crazy as WB54 would refer to two different bus routes instead of just giving each route unique numbers!

Could renumber it to 56? As don't think there is any West Midlands route that currently has that number.

Very odd sighting today.1863 leaving Acocks green garage.

7029 on the 28 this morning going towards Great Barr, a standing load and the driver continued to let more people on. This is as I stated before it would be a mistake taking the 28E's (Tyburn to Dyas Road) off in September. We need them back
