I don't suppose 4218 will ever see a return to Coventry? - would make the fleet numbers at CV look a bit better! (i.e. no gaps between 4203-24)

You never know Paul, with the new Enviro400s about to start working from Birmingham Central, one could displace 4218 to Coventry to replace an O405N. Couldn't see it happening myself though

Doubt it if I'm honest. Most likely go back to its old stomping ground at Yardley Wood, in all honesty. I'd rather see 43hundreds at BC and YW gets it crap 41's back.

To be fair the 65 x Y-reg Tridents at BC should be spread out a bit more evenly around other Trident garages

That's the general census around everyone I've spoke to. Its stupid we have that volume of sheds, with other garages only having like 10. I don't think YW has any 41's left, do they? I still want the old BR 43's back, they were perfect in every way. Love the 43's.

Nope, not one!

Incidentally YW already have 56 x 43-- Tridents before they potentially get anymore from BC as most expect, these could also do with getting spread out a bit more evenly. Otherwise in the not too distant future, you're suddenly going to have large numbers of old buses all in one garage that will all need replacing over a short period of time

I thought YW had one?

Nope,

65 @ BC
21 @ CV
13 @ WA
1 @ WN
Total = 100

Just double checked Tony's fleetlist just in case

From where? Not that I've seen reported, unless I've missed it?

I agree with Winston. Haven't seen any reports on here of a Y-TOH Trident moving to YW

BU07 LGO

I cant remember who told me, it might have been trident4370 who said he had been on YW's only 41xx trident?

Maybe it was WN's only 41** trident? 4135

YW doesn't have any 'odd one out' buses as far as I know

I think you're getting mixed up with 4310 which at the time was the only 51 trident ;) although I haven't been on it yet so maybe it was someone else who said it and you're confused!

BU07 LGO

Yeah must have been that then :(

YW's oddball is 4799?
