West Bromwich Garage

[pb2012]

Saw a new WB SWB E200 at Oldbury about 1.30pm which looked to be heading back to WB garage with '54 New Buses For West Bromwich' on the LED display, not sure if it was returning from some sort of launch event?

That would allow all B6 to be removed 11 LWB E200 WB, 14 WN & 5 WA= 30!

Was on 591 yesterday and good god it has some terrible brakes. Squealing under any form of braking and under heavy braking the rears scream like there's nothing left on the brake pads and it's rubbing metal on metal. Can't see that one lasting much longer.  :o

What routes does a b6 appear on ?

Wb b6's appear on routes 42 43 45 47 47a sometimes the 40, one on evening 49's most nights

What routes does a b6 appear on ?

Wb b6's appear on routes 42 43 45 47 47a sometimes the 40, one on evening 49's most nights

So they appear on all of them? Or is there a slight possibility it might be another type bus? If so what else could it be?

I would probably get the 47

The 42/3 also have Mercs, Short Wheelbase E200's and B7TL's
The 45 also has Mercs and E200's
40 has majority E200's
47/A also have E200's and Darts allocated

How long the b6s got left?

How long the b6s got left?

Would guess they will be gone before the end of the year, if not sooner.

[P419 EJW]

How long the b6s got left?

I'd speculate it could be at the end of August, if not then a week before. :'( Because the number of E200s coming in WA, WN and WB are the same number as the current B6s so it looks like a B6 wipeout.
