Farewell Day for B6; B10L; Spectra & mercedes

[BK63 YWP]

There's a 99.9 % chance I'll pop up at some point, as I only live around the corner from the 301 route.

Might try & get some pics too!

Will be nice to meet some of the members

[Kevin]

I shall be there probably most of the day

This thread will explode on Saturday I bet :P

[Sh4318]

It would make sense for 4105 to be on the 301 as well as the Presidents will be the next type to be withdrawn

I'm not emotionally ready to part with Presidents just yet

Who from the forum (stupid question ) is going saturday

Im coming straight from Merry Hill at 11 once i finish work. Hopefully the 4M is feeling quick haha. I look forward to meeting the forum members :)

I'm %100 going.

[T840MAK]

Has it been decided which Mercs will be used on Saturday? Just asking so I know which ones to go for the next couple of evenings.

Now got permission off Centro to run non-SQPS compliant Spectras on the X51 and off the NXWM management, so there will be, subject to a Spectra being fit, 11:05 additional journey from Birmingham to Walsall and 17:40 Walsall to Birmingham X51 (which may have more than one vehicle on)

No numbers for the Mercs yet, that is being left to the engineering manager for Pensnett to find two decent ones and tidy them up. At some point during the day we may have a line up of vehicles in Walsall garage yard which people will have access to photograph. Full details of this will be on the buses used.

I wouldn't have had to ask Centro if it wasn't

Would be nice if they could have a merc running as an extras on x51 in addition to the ones going f on 301 service

Wouldn't be as nice for the people who would inevitably be turned away from the Merc as I reckon it would get a tad full.

[Busman Jamie]

Im guessing ill see a majority of you on Saturday :)

I'm wondering what will happen driver wise. @Tony will WN drivers come across and learn the route as they know know B6, Merc and Spectra or are they going to type train WA drivers on B6 , Merc and Spectra?
