West Bromwich Garage

[Mike K]

Always liked the 87 when it was operated by Oldbury garage and was operated with a set of Scottish made buses, always seemed strange seeing the driver get in through his own cab door!!

The Ailsa Volvo's.

Loved them when we had them at Walsall.

I don't think anyone had a bad word to say about the Ailsas. Shame that they were never bought in greater quantities, although I'm pleased I got the chance to ride on many of these to and from school, when they ended up at PB and were used extensively on the Outer Circle.

4272 smashed into the back of 4268 on the 16 when it was operated by WB, sometime around May 2005 I think?

591 turned up a day early at Park Lane for its MOT. I think the dates got mixed up

I received a £2 off daysaver voucher through my door today, only redeemable on the 82 and 87. I wonder if they are doing a similar thing for all bus corridors.

I believe this promotion is being offered by Centro, through funding from Government as part of the Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF).

Door drops are taking place on the 37 & 45/47 routes, in addition to the two other corridors already stated for Daysavers, and a Family Daysaver voucher is being 'door-dropped' along the 126 route.

So Centro are really using government money to promote one operator's ticket at a reduced price? When they have their own nbus scheme that is much fairer? Or are they offering discounts on nbus hopefully? If not it is fundamentally unfair and anticompetitive. ..
