What's the Pvr of the 11 route, quite few of the recent refurbs a west brom have been gems, just thinking once the enviros start coming from YW will these go first straight to AG to be branded up I guess.

Branding will be changed to the LWB.

I should hope so, the 40 wouldn't cope on SWB E200's. It regularly fills LWB's to the rafters.

Did my eyes deceive me or is 4956 (which is on the 80 today) called 'Animal', as in the crazy drummer from the Muppets?

Very close! According to Tony's fleet list on this site it's "Anmol".

It's probably for both 11A/C which comes to over 20 for each route

I knew that but I was still surprised about 40.

tbh, i would think that the PVR is over 40 off peak, but with extra running time during the peaks, i wouldn't be surprised if during the peak the PVR was nearer 50!

I first started on another thread although seeing as it involves this garage, I'll continue it here, with YW getting the new Enviro 400MMCs, I believe 26 standard Enviro400s will be moving to WB but I believe the Geminis are on the way out, question is Where ?!

752 has been branded with front stickers for the 40

*EDIT* 751 and 754 has been branded for the 40 too and it's not just front stickers it's around the whole bus (only saw the front to begin with from the bus I was on)

They have all being de-branded now, but no LWB examples have been branded as of yet

Why brand them then remove it?

@Matt They put the branding on the wrong version of the E200's: SWB's were branded rather than LWB's, which are needed on the 40

"We got the wrong buses"

If that's the genuine reason then that's bloody hilarious
