West Bromwich Garage

6991 is on the 80/80A. Meanwhile, there's a Crimson Enviro 400 on the 82/87. Logic

I'm not sure on the layout of WB, but perhaps the E400 was easier to take out due to parking or something, whereas the Platinum could've been blocked in etc? Either way, the 82/87 still aren't fully Platinum from what I've seen, so it's no biggie.

Lol, you really don't like them, do you?

They,re fine for a couple hours but 4/5 hours plus it's taxing , if it's busy you make every stop that feels like a constant battle with the brake pedal waiting for the green lights to go out,
These are good buses for long runs without stopping every few yards running private etc.
I think I,m done now, with these buses and 3 part dutys coming online ,the summer dutys are aweful cost cutting everywhere to pay for new buses I bet .
12/13 every half an hour during the holidays a first for me during the day
87s every 12 minutes during the day , we got hammered last year.

  The unbranded 6991 was in use on the WB 5 at lunchtime today.  (Sunday)   Its the first time I've
seen a platinum on this service. Makes a pleasant change from the usual 48xx  I have yet to see 6992 .

Theres been a few on there now but Wb don't have any 48** they have 47,49**

2 Platinums noted on the 74; 6988 being one. I couldn't identify the other.

Are they to become the secondary allocation in addition to the current mix of 47** & 49**s?

Lots of WB 49xx are currently at graysons being made euro 6, so cover is whatever 'Birmingham' buses are available

@Sh4318 47xx on the 80/A aren't noteworthy they appear on there everyday. Especially since the 80 got debranded and some buses moved to WN.

I never said they were? I see the 80s everyday, I was referring to the Omnilink that was on there. Also, it's usually a more balanced mix of 49**s and 47**s, but it was mostly 47**s today

They are unbranded E400s as far as the garage are concerned
