Refurbs

[Tony]

4509 is the latest PB one to go in for refurb

[Tony]

Cue some smartarse saying thats a WB one.

Oh.

Correct, 4509 is the next WB one! I presume this means 4716 is now back at WB

<new garage opening soon it may be allocated there when it comes back>

Oh.

I presume WB may take priority in the paint shop/refurb bays for the next month or so, in order to increase the number of buses in NX livery what with the impending Sandwell Review soon to be implemented

This must be the first new garage theyve opened for ages-sign of success...

Since LH closed a number of garages are full/close to capacity, the last few network reviews have resulted in increases to Pvrs so I guess it's inevitable that a new garage would have to be opened at some point, not forgetting the recently sourced additional plot of land at Pensnett garage which could be used for further expansion down the line should the need arise, garages with open parking areas are more cost effective to run than the traditional covered garages.

[PM]

Anyone any idea about how big the plot's gonna be, how many buses are gonna be based there or what routes theyre going to run on?

[Trident 4609]

is 4565 back yet?

[Ex pensnett driver]

1645 seen fitted with Digital blinds even though it is still in its first ever livery with white gap behind front wheels and some of the tattiest seats going, presume its got to be one of PE's next refurbs otherwise where's the sense in putting in digital blinds

Drove it last night sounded like it has a new engine and drove nice
