Heritage Fleet

[Tony]

The heritage fleet has been approved to expand to 4 vehicles.
to add to 2957; 3035; 3225

I cannot say yet what the fourth addition will be because NX have been offered a couple of vehicles to choose from by different owners and it would be unfair on the existing owners at this stage, but expect another nice addition in the next few months.

Pity a Fleetline cannot be added to the heritage fleet to add a semi auto to the mix of pre-select & Voith vehicles already in the fleet. But we will have to wait to hear from your good self @Tony on the outcome

Whilst all this is well and good I hope these vehicles actually 'earn their keep' and do not end up as part of someone's toy chest.

All four of them have got to cover their costs on hires and special services

Who says a Fleetline can't be added?

Apart from 4041 at Aston Manor(which I believe is off the road at the moment anyway!), is there any other Fleetlines preserved locally?

Wythall have a few & there are 2 G reg dual doors somewhere too. @Gareth a fleetline would make a great addition to the fleet I guess I was being optimistic about it really

And remember the Bristol VRs and Volvo Ailsas....

And quite a few single deckers from Fleetlines to Volvo B6s too.

That's why I couldn't see 3474 at Wythall either at Easter or May Day only 3472 in the Midland Red Hall.


Someone also owns 3880 as well there's 3997

Looks like a fair bit of work is required to bring 3035 up to 3225's standard. Nice to see 3035 with 3225 & 2957 and be nice to see her back on the road in the near future

[I love Walsall buses]
