Two weeks - v soon then. Are any long ones expected for WA (or maybe even YW) to replace B10Ls ....... or B6s (at Walsall)

A batch of longer ones are due. I will post allocations closer to the date of arrival, not long to wait!

Oh great more rattling tin cans that mascerade as buses ,  think I should order a few thousand bottles of headache pain killers , probably keep gsk going single handed.

Mascerade - didn't they manufacture the O405N ?

The mercedes 0405n may not be perfect  , some rattle more than others, a big plus on the merc,s side is the power train all that power under your right foot felt great , the sound of those engines just superb when you compare to the feeable cummins effort ,great in a straight line not so much around bends the lean on some could be alarming ,use to leave black cab , vans for dust, you can't say the same for the enviro 200. Most of my colleagues hate them.

I,ve re read your post reall 4778 , lol good one

[The Real 4778]

LOL - interesting stuff though - thanks for posting, 2900!

With these new short E200s arriving at PB and WB, they'll be allowed into Birmingham City Centre, meaning we'll start seeing midibuses on double decker routes again ;) can't wait to see a midibus on the 16 or the Sutton Lines!

And I'd like to see some new doubles on the 97, it's one of the regions busiest and most frequent routes so deserving of them. Or I'd like to see the 55 get moved back to BC, so it could start using deckers (maybe new E400s?), maybe in return for the 98 and 99 to BY.

I'd put money on them doing something as retarded as that, perhaps not the sutton lines but almost guaranteed on the 16/66/101 etc, and the 28

Hope they don't obviously, but seriously worried they will

It will happen at some point may be when a double decker isn't available and only a compliant midi bus is about for change bus purposes , if it saves on lost mileage it will be used.  I,ve seen enviro 200 on West Bromwich 83/89 services when no deckers are available.

Three out of the 4 will be on the 654 all day

Sorry I'm a little confused, there are 3 short E200s on the 654 today?
