I had no idea that the 49 now terminates on the Hagley Road instead of Bearwood Bus Station. Must pay more attention.

It does a loop around Bearwood, used Galton Road to the Hagley Road, stops with the 126 on the Hagley Road, and then turns left into Bearwood High Street

Probably seems more nippy as I think it's the engine out of 1532 and the R and S reg mercs seem quicker generally than the T and V reg mercs.

Haven't seen a decker on the 49 for a while now. Guess they have took notice.

The deckers seem to be regularly being used on the 83/89 instead of the mercs so may be a swap for the deckers that were allocated on the 49.

I hope they keep it that way. You get a nice mix of B7TL and mercs on the 83/89 nowadays  :)

It hasn't been withdrawn yet, according to past fleet change news, so unless it has been withdrawn during May, then it should be still about.

I haven't seen it this month either. Not showing as SORN on the DVLA. Neither is the other missing one 680.

680 is dead. rear bumper missing and windows being removed last time i was in. no clue about 674.

on another note, some WB enviros are approaching 20000 miles already, time for them to be swapped with B6s and Mercs from PE?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
an empty bus is a happy driver.

From what stated on another thread, seems WB are to get 823.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

6 vehicles off the road now I make it - 674, 680 4044, 4048, 4054 and 4709. Might explain why more ALX400 and Gemini have been appearing on the 5 recently, presumably the 83/89 is back to mostly Mercs now because of this.

Try finding Queslett or Londonderry on a WB B6 blind ;)
