Volvo B10L

[Tony]

Will 7127/8 have their LED displays put to use in another bus at all?

Dundee are thought to be requiring additional buses from June for enhanced services / additional DCC tenders and additionally to allow for the withdrawal of non refurb'd/repainted B10L's.

7127/8 could yet join 7129 in Dundee rather than being withdrawn permanently

The fact 7127/8 will be the highest value B10Ls at Walsall makes me think they will be finding some further use

[Bob]

How long will they last at Walsall tony? I think theyre good buses they look and sound ten times better than arrivas 10 b10bles at cannock despite being older!

Bob,

7127/8 have been withdrawn from WA, Tony is saying that as they have the highest book value, he expects their careers to continue elsewhere rather than sitting in reserve

They've returned for further use in Dundee.

1401 was a fantastic bus to drive, 1470 was always very slow with heavy steering and a cold cab.

I wonder if it has been sold?

[lynx1103]

The ex Dundees have all been moved around at Miller Street today as well

Can't see 1462 being re-instated as it was one of the earlier refurbs with light blue moquette

Or maybe re-instated to Walsall we will soon see

The ex Dundees have all been moved around at Miller Street today as well

It's about time that NX made a decision on those four, given the amount of time & money they spent preparing them to re-enter service months ago & they've still not turned a wheel
