There is no B6 trainers. It would be a B10L or B10B.

Ah, got you, my bad. Looked similar to one so I made a silly assumption.  :P

B6's are shorter than the B10B/L's @DJ798 which is another way of telling the difference between the B6 & B10's

The P reg Volvo coach was out today. Passed it somewhere but can't remember where.

Also passed a B10B on the Vale this morning

[Jack]

While on the WA11 earlier in the afternoon (around 12:45) I saw either a B10L/B get down Hobs Road in Wednesbury. First time seeing a bus get down there, was heading towards Manor House Road/Park Lane.

The regular service for that area the 13 has diverted down there in the past.

I'm sure I've heard that the 11 (311 as I still call it) went down there after an incident on Wood Green Road a few years back. Looks weird seeing buses going up there (even though I use to live around the corner from there) lol

It stands a good chance it did.

Whats the alternative, the 11 runs dead through the Myvod section to Wednesbury & the 13 runs dead between Myvod & J9 via Ikea area or dead between Myvod & Pleck via Darlaston Road!
