West Bromwich Garage

[nitromatt1]

4640, which was this morning's 140/241 bus, went onto the 74 afterwards. I often notice the 140/241 bus on the Soho Road later on. I wonder if that means 823 got onto the Soho Road yesterday?

According to the running board it should run dead back to garage but I guess sometimes they put the bus straight onto Soho Rd.

Yeah, I doubt they'd see 823 fit for the Soho Road, but you never know!

I was in West Brom on 31.12.2013 and saw 1577, 1585, 1592, 1556 and 1694 parked in a line at the back of the yard near to the bus station. All had red notices in the windscreen. 1577 and 1592 were with drawn in October. Does anyone know the status of the other three? 1585 has been there for a couple of months but has not been recorded aswithdrawn.

1585, 1592 & 1694 are all operational according to Ton's latest fleetlist. However i am sure i read somewhere on here that they had been withdrawn.

1585 was never technically withdrawn. In fact it was retaxed for 2015 while parked up at Oak Road. 1577 and 1592 weren't.

What else does the vehicle that does a.m. school service 775 do? Yesterday that journey was operated by a Dudley Road Gemini, just wondered?

The AM journey is operated on it's own on running board 775/01. This returns dead to depot after operation.

The PM journey is operated on running board 80/10, which operates the 775 followed by one return trip on the 80 (1630 ex WB & 1725 ex Birmingham).

On other school routes, the 703 & 731 (AM) are all on 74/75 boards, whilst the PM 731 journey then goes on to operate the 82/87.
