Perry Barr Garage

[BU07 LGO]

4777 back in service, on the 7. Typical when I forget my camera :(

Good to hear its back out. 4780's refurb should hopefully be nearly completed

I hope they haven't painted over everything and got rid of the silver light surrounds and panel under the windscreen :(

That has been the way with the OmniLink repaints. I can not see the silver headlights been left. (It would be nice though)

Apart from 1833, which might have been painted elsewhere, as all badges, and silver were left on when it was repainted (this may also be the reason why the seats were not refurbished).

I don't mind the silver being painted over as it covers up where the Scania logos were rediculously removed! Really would the passengers think they were catching the 17 run by Scania

Oh they will have done, it's a key principle of this 'livery, ' to obliterate all individuality of the bus designers and manufacturers.

Wouldn't think deckers could do the 654. Some of the trees in Handsworth Wood are have low branches that a decker would strike. There has never been one reported on it. We would have heard on one on there by now, as the 651 has had a decker on it on 2 separate occasions

I don't think deckers can work the 66A. Bridge on Station Road, Erdington

Wasn't too sure with the route change it still served Staion Rd :)

They were both ALX's wasn't they. On the 651

[Ashley]

Yes Nathan. 4281 was one of the two on the 651

What about the BA contract service near Maypole? A new enviro or in fact any enviro has been noted on there

I have only ever heard of a Solo operating that contract. I have no idea if any other type could operate that, or if a bigger bus is needed.

The new Enviro400s do work the CG Contract in the City Centre on occasions

Thanks ash I thought they were.

Is the BA similar to the CG ? Timetable wise ?

[Ashley]

I don't know Nathan. I just seem to be the one who's noted all the B7TL occurences which makes a nice sight on Maypole Island in compraison to the pink panthers on the 50

[nitromatt1]

Saw a NXWM liveried Optare Solo heading through Cotteridge this evening. Any ideas?
