@Ashley 60171 It's been back a little while, strange nothing has gone to WA to replace it, although with other garages having priority repaints into the new livery, they will probably leave PE fleet alone again which is a shame as certain of the Tridents need attention!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Thanks @Stuharris 6360 and @Rhys S. I'll be honest I can only differentiate between the unrepainted Y reg's as all the refurbished ones are hard to tell apart or to put it another way, they all look good. Maybe nothing else has gone due to 4193's absence unless thats back too

@Tony What is the problem with 4193, couldn't PE have fixed it?

Sometimes garage have more work on than they can cope with and others have a bit less, so if the training fleet is running well and Pensnett fitters are busy it makes sense for the Miller Street fitters to work on it. It is not unusual for buses to be worked on by any other garage

West Bromwich have a body bay that does the repanelling, it then goes to Walsall for painting, that is why on the lists I do one vehicle is always listed as WB
