Walsall Garage

@the trainbasher

Do you remember the old Walsall area travelcard?

That included trips to Wednesbury Bus Station(Sandwell), the section of the 79 between Darlo & Wednesbury, in fact the whole Walsall borough, then Cannock & Hednesford later.

The Walsall western boundary as per the 529 is the Portobello island, not Shepwell Green.

I think that may have been a little before my time

Yeah it's in the garage. Seen the day before yesterday, or was it yesterday, I can't remember. 2234/5 getting fueled up. Presumably for the first time.

I know its off topic but is 2225 at AG yet @MW

I had this bus the other day and noticed the same. It also refers to the Birmingham Rd/Ring Road stop as the Travelodge. I know to locals they'll know what this is and the stop is actually called this, but the actual hotel is now the Metro Inn.

I noticed that too, that actual fare stage is Travelodge though!

Most people I know know it as the Boundary hotel

Can @Tony clarify as to wether the 700 School Service has the main allocations as Double Decks or still E200's as 4262 is on this morning when it was E200's every day last academic year

Has anyone got the names of 4882/4884? (And any others that may have been done)

I appreciate most of these have moved on to Central

Thanks Rob.

Did any of the other 487*s (not the old Express branded ones) now at Central get named before departure? I could of sworn that I saw a couple of these with names while still at Walsall
