West Bromwich Garage

4950 broke down at wednesbury bus station, failed to start and was eventually retuned to garage :(

LOL! Sad thing is, can't say I'm even surprised. ADL really are the <deleted> buses ever. NX is doomed if they are going to order from this <deleted> company for the future!

Don't talk such utter rubbish. Whilst I much prefer Volvo/Wright your comments are libelous to Alexander Dennis. Any bus that has been parked up for a few days with the battery being drained by the radio/ticket machine and other electrics that don't switch off even when the cab master switch is switched off can have dead batteries

4952 hit the road pn the 74 at 07:30. Was photting outside wb bus station, then my camera died soon as I saw it.

There's one out for the night, spotted at Dudley bus station at 1930 approx. Bet that one gets back to garage with some scribbles on it

Caught 4952 on 75 at 15:39 from Birmingham. Felt strange to be on E400 on 75, but it was a nice change, I admit.

It does feel weird to see an Enviro on the Soho Rd, I never thought WB would ever get any, I wonder if spares will be used elsewhere on Sundays. That would be amazing

I do like volvos then ADL but it id nice to see new buses at WB

You never know. They may appear on routes like the 48,83/9 and 127/8 on Sundays

Personally I can't wait to see one on the 45  ;D

Might depend on the PVR of the Soho Road on Sunday, (I'm guessing it's around 14-16?). Which would leave around 19 left, which could just go on the Dudley Road, would only need 12 Enviros for the 48 (4), 83/89 (5), 127/128 (3). All guesswork, probably won't happen, but an Enviro on the 89 would be unreal ::)

Does anyone know the id of the b6 to the left of 1701 in yesterday's oak lane picture posted by 2900? I'm guessing it may be 564?

Probably. 4950/1/2 were out yesterday although there might be the possibility that several others make it into service today

[James4368]

Will some appear on 74/75 route

[Ashley]

Will some appear on 74/75 route

See previous comments, intended for use on Soho road with a couple spare

My own question would be is anything for the chop this weekend?
