At the moment it is waiting a visit from DVSA like most major collisions have to. Will be costed by the insurance company after that.

4768 involved in very heavy rear end rtc in Smethwick's sponcroft area , it's done its last journey.
4740 4768 possible to make one good bus but I doubt it with all the EV's just itching to start service

Depending on the priorities for the "other" PBs, I would imagine 69xx's could start to work their way over to WB. Could be completely wrong as usual.

It was 4766 that was involved in yesterday's RTC. Shame really, that one was one of the rockets of the batch

I think WB's priority should be replacing the Scanias with double decks. The 12s and 13s can really struggle at peak with singles

Why would they want to get rid of perfectly good Euro6 vehicles while there are non-Euro6 ones that must be got rid of?
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Exactly, the main priority is non Euro 6.

Again it's not been confirmed what's happening to them but people are already jumping to conclusions.
