West Bromwich Garage

[Ash]

Some of the evening workings dont interchange (405/6). So it looks as if 1587 has been reinstated and 1527 withdrawn in its place. I would think the ex 404 mercs have a high mileage as they were well used.

Hi, Thetruth

I think 1698 has transferred to other garage.

[Paul]

Why would 1698 transfer to another garage
It was withdrawn due to a engine fire

[jade4444]

oh, I though 1693 has been scrap because due to engine fire.

[jade4444]

Where is 1698 at now??

Where is 1698 at now??

Not sure unless the damage was not that bad and it was a straight engine replacement the scrapyard in the sky shame as the mercs are pretty good

[Ash]

Im not suprised 1698 has been moved, it was in the way where it was parked right at the front of the garage near the entrance. With the gemini's and extra b6le's WB have picked up i guess it wont be replaced and likely to be withdrawn.

626 in from Walsall seen on the 405 today another recent transfer from Walsall.

[Tony]
