Surprised this hasn't been picked up & mentioned already!

Question for Tony.

Where's the best place by Walsall depot to get shots?

Tony

As the route is from garage to Walsall Town centre I would say the Walsall side of the entrance

Are you being sarcastic?

Just looked in on Walsall depot via Bustimes, and the 'younger ' vehicles are there definitely.

Presumably the older ones, obviously without trackers, are also there too!

7000 was in the original list. 8110 had to replace 4041 and 4001 replaced a Pershore Road branded Metro from Wythall.
So it was! My bad  :P Lovely variety of buses today; I'll come round to post my photos in due course

I got video but unfortunately I was behind the 2 National Express ladies (who arrived after me incidentally!), so my video isn't much different from the one on the Nx Facebook site!

Mind you, I did better than Phil Tonks, according to Twitter, as he only got 4 , due to a route change!

More to follow..

On a side note, it was nice to hear positive comments in passing from joe public in Walsall - even though many seemed confused at the sight of the PTE convoy along St Pauls Street. I recall one lady remarking "I haven't seen one of those in years" in reference to 7000!
