533 568 582 669 673 677 would be the better choices of what's left. 533 just needs a few rattles sorted now as the diff has been repaired. 524 would be better without the groan and 519 is just a tad slow. 582 needs new trim if that stays, all the current seats are rock solid. You all already know my thoughts on 244...

Not the ones id have kept at all if there were still plenty to choose from but I'm just a spotter so I assume my opinions are outright null and void

It would be lovely to be able to keep the ones that seemed nice, but for instance 1477 rode nice but has to be withdrawn because underneath it is too rotton to repair at any reasonable cost. Not sure why you dislike 244, nicest of all the B6s to ride on

Well I suppose it is just survival of the fittest regardless of which nutters like which vehicles

West Bromwich has no B6s on the road today. 519 went to Miller Street yesterday, and has been taken to Lea Hall today.

533 is still at West Bromwich, but hasn't been out of the garage

4976 was in service today on the Soho Rd unbranded

4977 is now taxed too.

West Bromwich is now B6 free, the last one 533 has gone over to Park Lane

The end of an era at Wb then  :'( when 501-515 arrived they helped to oust the fleetlines,18 years later they in turn are extinguished by new e400s.

Thanks. I must have read it and forgot about it (and for some reason those posts didn't show up on the forum search earlier)

4518 still here. On the 82/87s today. No idea if it's due to transfer, but it would be odd for AG to have one dot matrix Gemini

The last Enviro 400s have now been delivered, so no more new buses for a few months
