I forgot to look what the portacabins were used for when I was at the open day

Storage, Engineers, the union office and the training office.

@horsencart Yes, excellent pictures.

I did not know N155 BOF had survived. I am very glad it has.

Strange to see the Mercedes Benz O.405N parked up disused. I bet quite a few of you remember them also being parked up there before entering service when brand new!
I believe N155 BOF is at AMRTM or whatever it is called now at Aldridge @Tiptonian

That's correct, Mercs 1515-1526 & 1556 onwards at least appeared on the 9 before being branded for Network Harborne routes

@Squiz1971. Many thanks for info re. N155 BOF.

@karl724223. You are right in saying Mercs did not enter service new at Pensnett, but TWM stored a number of them for a short time prior to entering service.

At this time, Pensnett was still Travel Merry Hill using the green version of the livery, as seen on the then new Volvo B6LE.

Apologies for the poor photos, they are scans of old prints. Also, they may be the wrong way up..........sorry!

@Tiptonian Nice pics, any idea which Fleetline was in the background of a couple of the pics.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Looks like it was one of the THM park & Ride Fleetlines, were they 6960 & 6965?

Ah right, I presume the green ones were different then, weren't they used on the 265 or I am dreaming again?
