In the process of new arrivals entering service, what has to be done to them before they enter service ?

Ticket Machines fitted
Perry Barr destinations uploaded to bus
They may also have to be inspected before entering service

They may also need Radio's fitting unless this is now done at the manufacturers?

Thanks John & Nathan, have shared your pics on my Facebook page  :D

No problem stu,


If not mentioned 4697 has gained the NXWM logos, snapped it on the 907

4915 is named Keyanna, I take it the PB batch will have Caribbean/african names ?

One of the evening timetabled 33E's to Perry Barr is ran using a ALX soo take it the 2 that are timetabled are from the 94

Have anymore PB enviros left except for 4731 ?.

4725 and 4726, with the entry into service of 4915/6/8 yesterday.

I wonder if there are a few more out today, I'm not able to get out now till Saturday to see if there are any more

I'm wondering if the moves are happening so quickly due to the latest batch of E400's being prep'd for service elsewhere and swapped on a 1 for 1 basis at PB with the buses being cascaded out, the same happened with the previous batch of E400's at PB due to not having enough room to accommodate both. PB has only lost the 5 x E400's to WA with the 934 since then......

10 47xx to Yardley Wood
10 YW Trident to Walsall

Hopefully I will see 4719, 20 & 22 Today or Tomorrow to complete my PB set  :)

Have 4725/6 gone to YW OR BC OR ???

It would have been possible previously,

But the ex YW Tridents are heading to PE with 4348 & 4353 noted in service so far, I assume 4349-4352 at least will not be far behind. You proposal could still work, but I suspect PE are down to receive more than 6 x Tridents

It wouldn't work unless Walsall are planning to convert an OmniLink route to double decker operation, as they would be losing OmniLinks for Tridents.

I do see where lynx1103 is coming from, replacing the last Yardley Wood B10Ls

That was the general idea to allow YW to remove the last 9 x B10L from service. Wouldn't have thought it would be an issue for WA to have fewer single dckers & more double deckers. But this is now not likely to happen with the current moves being played out

Lost track when did all the info cme through about PB's En400 going to YW. Anyone know about the plans to upgrade 45/47/94 or they likely to get new stock now? Thank you.
