Been pointed out to me it is actually Wilds Lodge School, a mechanical training establishment

well, at least that's another one seeing some sort of 2nd life, so apart from 4001/2/9 and now this 4004 have anymore moved on to your knowledge tony

I understand that 6 Mercs will see further service with another operator in Ireland

[Gareth]

I thought the whole reason they couldn't be used after today was that they cannot see further service with DDA laws. Or can they still be used for certain other work?

[Gareth]

Ah, I've just seen your comment about Ireland in the Pensnett thread.

Yes, sorry, should have clarified, I've amended my post above now.

I will be watching this with interest, maybe not the end of the Mercs yet for me!!

5 x Mercs are currently parked in the top left-hand corner of Pensnett garage fronts facing the fence again, one in the corner being 1641, with an NXC liveried Merc parked further down on it's own with it's rear facing the fence

As Karl posted, B6LE's 502 & 660 at least have either gone or have now been parked down the bottom of the yard

502, 561, 572, 658, 660, 1411, 1420, 1426, 1668 & 1670 should all be heading off to Barnsley

They've got some shifting around to do to get 1420 out, it's right in the back row up against the fence

Looks like Ensign Bus have picked up two more Spectra's from Miller St including 4021

Forgot to mention 1560 looks like a newish addition to Pensnett's reserve fleet

buses heading off for further use makes welcome reading than the endless one way trips to Barnsley or emr for recycling into Heinz beanz  canz

Pensnett reserve fleet has had a bit of move around, 1698 appears to be an new addition (parked on the end where 660 was)
