I saw another one heading into brum on an inbound X51, looked good and was a refurbished example

[Westy]

Don't think I've been on one yet, as I seem to be permantly on B7LRE & Scanias!

[Alex]

@Other Walsall Tony No, B10L's can just display 40E Willenhall, as Willenhall is on the blind for the 41  :)

Seeing as my post on this got deleted (even though it was a genuine question!!) surely B10s have Darlaston on the rollers as I know WA used to have the 337 service which terminated there.

Couldn't the 34A just display Darlaston on Rough Hay bound journeys and then just display Walsall via Darlaston on Walsall bound trips?

The reason I suggest this is because it has been done before with routes and technically Rough Hay is part of Darlaston is it not?

But it isn't going to encourage the residents of Rough hay to get on the bus if they think it is terminating by the Asda.

As there are now nowhere near enough B10Ls available for the 34/38/39 and are going to be replaced on there by Scanias at some point this year anyway, it makes more sense to do it now

Theoretically though the 34A terminates (according to Centro) at the stop  after asda anyway so Darlaston would be an appropriate destination.

Furthermore the lack of one type for all diagrams hasn't stopped NXWM before running with one type on its own. Look at the 311/313, 45 or even 301!!

Is the 311/3 now decker operated?

[Tony]

Is the 311/3 now decker operated?

No, virtually all B7RLEs this morning

[Stuharris 6360]

No, virtually all B7RLEs this morning

Thanks @Tony didn't think they would make it decker operated, and the B7rles are so much nicer than the Scanias.

The Walsall fleet isn't in its final state yet with 40 brand new buses still to arrive along with lots more transfers in and out, so some more routes will need different vehicle types in the coming months

[Trident 4194]

So to find a b10 I now need to go on the 40/41?

What are the chances of getting leather seated e400 on x51 in May time

[John]

What are the chances of getting leather seated e400 on x51 in May time

Until the Platinum buses arrive (which they are sometime in May) quite good chances

[Tony]

You certainly won't see a Platinum at Walsall in May. So yes leather E400s Will still be around

[Trident 4194]

Was there any b10s on 34/38/39 today?
