Any particular reason why WB are short of buses?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

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
