West Bromwich Garage

I don't think that's too unusual. Buses, especially in the past have been covered up and identities hidden after accident or fire damage. I think at one time it was also the norm to move these vehicles around at night between locations.

Well certainly in the case of severely damaged vehicles (although I well remember almost swerving off the A456 in the middle of the day looking at a Midland Red coach being towed - some months after a bad roll over accident on the M5 - the coach plus roof took up the whole traffic lane) but in the case of a relatively minor damage as shown in the Twitter fire brigade picture of the B7RLE it seems a little ott to be covering up the number plates and fleet numbers - makes you wonder what the reason is ........

Well its all definately covered. Had a cheeky walk around it yesterday and couldnt tell you any details about it. Theyve even gone to the trouble of making sure the paper taped over the bus number is coloured so you cant see through it!
I wonder if they'll do it with the bus thats gone up in smoke in wednesbury this morning???

Not su8re if its already been mentioned but one of the wb unbranded presidents has been named?

[CL]

Not sure if its already been mentioned but one of the wb unbranded presidents has been named?

Yeah, been mentioned before... Unofficially named 'Susan Lynn' or something if I remember correctly. Not the same font used is not the same as the ones on Enviros. Name was only on the rear, wasn't it?

4084. I saw it a few months back

4084 seems to have adopted an unofficial name (I guess) only on the rear in a different style of lettering. I think it was 'Sarah Lynn' or similar

Can confirm it is 'Sarah Lynn'. On the 5 today

Following on from the review thread, wouldn't the turn from St Marys Road onto Bearwood High St (and vice versa) be too tight for a Scania on the 48 and 49?

WB keep your ears open a lot of the rumours gossip floating around the garage is true, I use to take it all with a pinch of salt.

Don't shoot the messenger. Someone in the other thread mentioned they were bigger

I thought the enviros were replacements for the b7 alx gone to wa

I believe someone mentioned it on another thread. I thought the Geminis leaving was balancing off the Enviros arriving.
