4709 now branded for 82 and 87 to match the other 06 gems.

4291 back at garage, repainted but as of this morning, the old seat covers were still on, ie not the grey ones with dots, the same as the old 451 presidents had before refurb.

3610 still in back car park, not moved an inch yet.

2 mercs being driven by engineers with blank blinds past the malt shovel on the newton road yesterday, didn't get numbers, but i think being withdrawn.


There were 2 Mercs parked outside on Monday afternoon. One was 1523, the other 1561 or 1589.

Strange that 4291 hasn't been re-trimmed, must be the first one in a long while. It has been away a good while as well

It has been re trimmed,  just in the dark blue moquette,  not the grey

Thanks Tony, they must have found some spare to use up!

I wrongly took the comment old 451 presidents had before refurb. to mean the light blue original moquette

819 was the bus on the 289 today, but to be honest they should've put a decker on, or a Merc at least, the journey I was on was jam-packed towards West Bromwich with at least 5 standees, the driver had to stop picking up passengers at some points

Are they allowed to do that, I thought E200's can hold more than 5 standee's ?

Plus I think 3 buggies were also onboard. Forget the 'limits', there simply wasn't any room

I am saying what happened in reality, not what 'should' happen. Besides, the driver turned away a 4th buggy-party.

Think they are on diamond as well though I have seen 3 at least crammed on a 002 which doesnt have much buggy room-ie complying with dda stuff but not pandering to the buggy brigade by giving them lots of space!!!! In the early days though of b10ls and crusaders-diamonds as well as twm ones-the buggy bay was really a bit big which was good last week for a couple of wheelchairs and pushchairs on diamonds 4 but in my view reduces seated capacity too much.

Possibly if it was an enviro there may still have been a little bit of room but probably for easiness and to avoid being sworn at by the mother or possibly even the baby as well. Anythings possible in the west midlands

Problem is that it's Sunday service today and with a bus only every hour, i suppose the driver was trying to be s little sympathetic, saying that an E200 is not a suitable bus to be used on the 289 on a Sunday service.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Wouldn't one of them spaces that the buggy took up before a wheelchair user if one boarded the bus ?
