Any particular reason why WB are short of buses?

Will any be coming onto the 5? Would love to have a ride on one to West Bromwich!

Is that to cover the Snow Hill to St Paul's ML1 @Tony or in West Brom itself??

1607 now showing as reinstated as well, but still in the garage
1695 & 1699 also reinstated, but deleted off the tracking system so I cannot see where they are

@Squiz1971 It's Snow Hill to St Paul's cover whilst the extension works take place.

Surely the metro replacement only uses 2 buses? Christ it's only from St Pauls to snow hill

There were at least three replacements this morning. I'm guessing they only need that many during the peaks?

Quite a lot of people walk it from St Paul's into the city centre anyway. A little surprising really that WB are providing Metro work yet they're having a slight vehicle shortage.

@AV4248 Think the Metro replacement work is causing the shortage!

They haven't got a vehicle shortage. They have an increased vehicle requirement so get extra buses!

That makes more sense now, forgive me if what I said came across as wrong.

I cant believe west brom are that short of buses. Walking through the garage yesterday mid afternoon before my duty and there were at least 4 scania's and a load of deckers. Must be plenty of defective buses if this is the case
