Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on November 15, 2024, 06:53:01 PMWolverhampton have never had any B7's and unless Double Deckers have appeared On the 39 then only the 79 went down the Stafford Road and that used Tridents. You can't even track the Trainers on Bustimes
Wolverhampton have loads of "B7s", albeit in the form of Wright Eclipses on B7RLE chassis.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

But it is a route used by driver trainers and B7s have been in the training fleet for over 5 years

I said that I was aware of so They probably have been down there but I haven't seen any probably should have worded my initial post better

Does it really matter? It's a training bus on a route used by training vehicles, I've seen the training B7TL's there on numerous occasions.

I haven't seen them go down and before they became trainers they hardly ever appeared in Darlaston if at all. Double Deckers haven't been down Stafford Road since the 79, Yeah it's Driver Trainer but we usually get the B7RLE's, B10's enter this part of Darlaston maybe if it was a Gemini, Scania or Trident E400 it might be more noteworthy
