In the days when I regularly travelled on the M5 motorway northbound towards the M6 , I could often see "West Midlands" buses in a dealers/repair facility [Scania ??]  on the right hand side just by the West Brom turn off.  Do WM buses still go there for whatever reason.

I would imagine that would be the Scania dealer, Keltrucks of West Bromwich.

I guess the Bentley premises are still used as 'back up' if needed?

Our company's trucks are repaired in a small facility used by Hartshornes on the same estate we're based at, at Willenhall, but I guess any bigger problem would still be looked at Bentley.

Hartshorne Pensnett is on the same estate as NX Pensnett, isn't it, as we use JJX on the same estate for additional storage?

Bentley isn't back up. It's their main site

Of course , the name slipped my mind.  Keltruck at Droitwich had Astons W5ENG on site this morning.

Re: your post in the Oddities thread about Coach 215.  
All former WMT Ltd coaches carry Woods Coaches Ltd legals, as they transferred on to a new WM Woods Coaches license a good few months back.

I know you've posted this before @winston , though what I mean is that they have literally stuck the Woods lettering over the WMT lettering without removing the old one first - a proper hatchet job.

I'll see if I can nip up and take a photo so I can show you what I mean.

It's just a case of not removing the glue properly. If you scrape the old transfers off but don't manage to get rid of the glue, the put the new transfer on dirt will then stick to where the old lettering was making it look visible again
