I didn't think that the 41 used Mercs, just the Darts and E200 SWBs

It doesn't. Two buses aren't being used because of the withdrawl of the 41, which means two Mercs can be withdrawn

Or two E200's could always be moved elsewhere

If anything the B6LEs will just be transferred or become 'straticgic reserve'.

While sat at the lights at Snow Hill this morning, I couldn't help but notice this on the back seat of 4980 as it stopped alongside the 9 I was on.

It looks like someone has taken a saw or something to one of the light grey handle parts of the second back row of seats on the upper deck, as it was split in two down the middle!

The innovative mind of the West Bromwich vandal - doesn't surprise me really - never hear many positives about the Dudley Road and 74 etc. clientele.

I also noticed this on 4973 on Saturday 18/10, about 3 seats from the back on the offside upstairs, one had been cut right through and an attempt had been made on the seat next to it. There appears to be someone with a hacksaw on the loose on the soho road.

Certain corridors don't deserve new buses it's just wasted on scum.

Just to say. We don't know whether this vandalism occurred on the Soho Road section of the route, or the Birmingham Rd - Dudley/Wednesbury section

Really annoying to hear about this deliberate damaging of brand new buses - these individuals should count themselves lucky as having new buses. Would love to have some new stock at YW/AG now. I mean would they go sawing their own property in half - no. Why they have to saw through bus seats is beyond me - NX should get the CCTV reviewed, to try and discover the person doing this.

4955 on 80 I presume this sort of appearance will become regular?

4229 is out on the 80 if anyone wants a photo

Like they care about having 'new' things at all, they are spoiled imbeciles who have never had to so much as earn anything in their pathetic lives, especially respect, which is a word they have heard of but utterly misunderstand.

Quite frankly these overgrown babies don't deserve their liberty; they certainly haven't earned it, carrying on like this.
Don't you start.

More worrying though is the thought of people walking around with saws on them in the first place, I'm sure he hadn't just got on the bus straight from Homebase... Of course the one good thing about it being a new bus is that the CCTV should be as clear as possible so the coppers should have no problems finding the scum that did it.

That'll be the day
