West Bromwich Garage

[Stuharris 6360]

Was the Merc a roller blind or electronic displays?

If it's roller blind, I assume it can't display Aldridge!

Only PE have Mercs with electronic displays, so should have been a blind fitted vehicle.

Separate subject are their still plans for a west brom sub unit to house services like the 101/16 etc?

For extra routes to transfer to WB, said garage would need to transfer routes out first, most likely to Pensnett. For that to ever happen PN would need to be expanded first

Didn't someone on here a while ago talk of a sub unit being built round the Oldbury area?

At one point NX were thought to be looking at setting up a new outstation @ Keltruck (Scania dealer) West Bromwich & the existing Oak Road outstation would be closed. But that fell through for reasons unknown.

@Winston isn't a certain local MP involved in keltruck (the hon member for Dudley south)

4974 was on Priory Queensway with two nearside windows broken & a damaged nearside panel, with Police and an Inspector in attendance at about 16.30 today - looked like something might have hit it coming from Steelhouse Lane

1671 now has WB blinds, although they've managed to put an old font via one in.

4055 and 4087 now have the modified 5 branding.

4956 was parked at Oak Lane with minor rear accident damage.

Non branded 4961 on 80 no idea if unusual or not.

Happens every now and again, not too unusual. More likely to see an Enviro on the 82/87 though

[Sayeed]

832 on the 48

Accident damage on 4966
