West Bromwich Garage

[CL]

4748, 4739, and 4740 noted on the 74 this morning

I know certain garages donmt differentiate their Enviros; regardless, it's not often a Trident appears on there. Just thought it was worth mentioning, if anyone's interested.

Regarding the all night 74 single decker that leaves garage just after 12 ,drivers who have done it have said its waste of time and money non fare payers , people just riding around on it to keep warm .
Yeah great advertisement for 24 HR operation , IMO to do it properly you need the heavy mob at the door £2.40 flat fare or walk , Petes travel had bouncers when they did nite services back in the day.
Then again brum eh London totally different dynamics.
Can't see any one shedding a tear over the demise of 74 24 hour operation, may be in the future it could return on Friday and Saturday only who knows.

I regularly used Pete's Travel on the 94N. We never had bouncers on ours. I've always said the 94 isn't as bad as people make out! 😜

The bouncers were on the Wolverhampton Fri/Sat night services, these were run in partnership with the night clubs and operated by TWM

@Dutsey, Gemini's are common on the 5. As well as 4515, 4512 was also on it.

1918 - WB42
Should be on the 1721 from Tipton Railway Station towards West Bromwich, arriving there at 1748 if anyone wants it

This is/has been a regular occurrence for a few weeks as that bus comes of a 3A and goes onto 42s it does Tipton/Dudley/Tipton Empty back from Tipton. It replaced a 42 Running board that came from garage around 1445.

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up then, makes sense why I've seen one on there a few times lately.

There was a 47xx Dudley Road branded E400 Trident in Wednesbury around 30 mins ago out of service, any idea what one was doing over there? At a guess, it was heading up to Walsall for work or something, but I'm not sure.
