West Bromwich Garage

[WB]

I beleive 1950 was dragged back due to losing all gears on the 45 route the other day. The scania's west brom have had really dont seem very reliable at all!

I haven't removed it

I got a email telling me it had been removed by the guy who started it off. But cannot remember who it was and I have deleted the email too @Tony

Well 1950 apparently had a replacement engine fitted by Keltruck!! Not a perfect job by the sounds of it :(

@WB

I thought 1950 had had the replacement engine but wasn't 100% sure, so thanks for clarifying that. Can't have done a very good job then if it's already having problems  :( - hopefully will be resolved soon.

? Will the remaining 4500s move on this year

I always thought 4503-5 would go to PB, and 4506 to AG. Much point in keeping 4 of them?

4105 was on the 451 yesterday.  Hadn't seen its transfer or loan from WA recorded anywhere, but it's a pretty obvious, and sensible move.

Caught 1949 the Wednesday on the 42 it still has some of its acocks green posters in there and near the steering wheel something about low speed in Solihull town centres

We do tend to find at west brom that any bus that has come from AG/YW has old adverts and the small sticker about using lights in birmingham and solihull.
I saw yesterday that RS recovery was collecting 4048 from pheasey after it broke down. Never seen NX use RS before ive only ever seen diamond use them?

Says something like watch out for pedestrians in Birmingham City Centre and Solihull Station.

Interestingly the 45xx that were at AG a few years ago and then WB, look like they've had the stickers for years, so they must have had them whilst at WB too. A lot of them the 45xx seem to have a piece of glass over the CCTV screen too for some reason.

Any news on the 47xx geminis? I thought they were going when the yw enviros came or was that just a rumour?

I dont think they are going anywhere. We dont have enough buses at west brom to start losing them to other garages especially with the mercs being retired and still only having 5 Scanias to replace them
