Walsall Garage

[Kevin]

I'm sure that's the board 51/13 which goes back to garage at 01:45. Was it a swap or was it allocated from the beginning?

It's 6729.

I know the usual debate of "It's a bus, it doesn't matter" but surely this sort of thing should be avoided as much as possible

I had to post this I think ex Wolvo garage Branded Tridents are in a right state with the pink line still in them and nxwm badges at the front removed the engine on 4592 4599 4590 and 4600 sound horrible the interior is a mess Walsall made 4604 and 4603 look good in the 10 10A branding but these are a mess. I see these pretty much everyday on the 701 and 41 they need to either brand them like 4604 or repaint them.

Funny I thought 4593 had an unfortunate engine fire in Feb so how can the engine sound horrible when it is no longer in service @BusFan94???

I meant 4592

And 4590 was never branded and isn't at Walsall.

Not quite sure how Walsall have made a mess of 4603 & 4604 in a couple of weeks either as as far as I know they have not received any damage.

What was wrong with the engine by the way and do we have after fire images

Haven't got a link to a photo to hand, but imagine a bus not being there. That's what it looked like afterwards. Hardly anything left of it.

It was actually an electrical fire under the stairs, there are plenty of images on the internet including

Sorry @Tony for my incorrect info I thought I had read somewhere on the article it was an ordinary engine fire not an electrical fault causing the fire I do apologise for that

4125 is back in service on 10, after the accident on the 41 couple of weeks ago.

Not 4604 or 4603 I meant 4600 4601 4602 and 4599 the ex 529 branding still shows with a pink line and the paint looks horrible and dirty the interior looks horrible and the engine sounds horrible I would have thought that Walsall Garage would have a better job of repainting them out of the 529 branding or reuse it for 10 10A branding I saw 4601 a few hours ago and it looks horrible and dirty but there is no damage but exterior and interior are awful.

Do have any information about it's crash and images

Should 4105 be in service with a totally blank display?

Thought there was some rule?

(On the 8 / 89's currently!)
