What buses operate on 89 service?

Volvo B7RLE's, Volvo B7TL's, Tridents mostly. Can be other vehicle types if required. The 89 interworks with the 8 to save another question.

when is the B10L's going out of service

In a month or two at the most.

There's no immediate rush with the remaining five, there are other things more important to do with the new vehicles at the moment

Like getting them finished properly so that they can be finally be delivered to their respective depots so they can be used in service I guess Tony ;D

4880 now debranded. Didn't catch the name though.

Named Shy-Ann

[John]

Now they have been done I will add them to the main site tonight, but the list is
Kaytlyn   4857
Hazel   4858
Brinlee   4859
Dakota Rose   4860
Suhana   4861
Lola   4862
Fay   4863
Patsie   4864
Jenne   4865
Amelia    4866
Georgie   4867
Emilia    4868

I would have thought that the 51 branding might have been completed (to go with the 33 branding, stripe on the side and under the window-screen) when the names were applied

Not read everything on here yet, but do we know what is going to happen to the E400's on the 997 etc when the new lot arrive. Has it been announced which route they are being cascaded to yet, or is it still going to the Pershore Rd as the 900/957 ones didn't/don't provide enough buses. Cheers

[Ashley 60171]

Is there only one left?

Christ, you turn your back for five minutes and look what happens.

@The Real 4778

Five B10L's left. I said above they'd be gone in a couple of months but Tony's response suggests they'll see out the "summer" in service.

@nxwmbusfan1999 Tridents on the X51/997s are not unusual. On there all the time

[James4368]

Any B10's on 34/39 today?

Seen 1475/1447 on 40

[Kevin]

Has it lost the "Alexander Stadium" name then?

And to answer my own question .. .. ..
4857 just passed me in Town with both names on...

[Trident 4609]

@nxwmbusfan1999 Double Deckers are not unusual on the 69.

[Trident 4194]

The 40/41 should consist of if I am correct 5 b10s, 1 b7rle urban and a decker of some sort?

It can vary. B7RLE's are not usually on there. The amount of B10's on there does vary so there could be a couple of double deckers then the rest B10's, then the next day it may be an extra double decker and one less B10.

Am I right I assuming 4763-4768 go to Coventry and 4769-4776 stay at Walsall?
