Yeah blinds are working now and the legals on the paper are printed now on Friday they was hand written.

Uptight

I don't know where fleet number 6 has come from when they don't even have a fleet number 5 yet 😂.

Also does anyone know what's happened to fleet number 1 it hasent been out for a while well ever since they got ticket machines.

Unless there was a mistake that should be the 5th veichle unless they have a fifth but not a ticket machine for it yet. It is usually this one and AS09PAN on the 19 the other two E200's haven't been out in a while on the 19 presumably there spare I think bus 1 didn't have an assault screen which is needed on the 19

Yeah I would definitely recommend an assault screen on the 19 route, I heard a rumor it had its window smashed and hasent been seen since, I wonder if they will get it fitted with a assault screen so if any buses have their windows smashed then that can do out with a assault screen.

Seeing they've now moved to their new depot by Bescot, surely the reference to 'Willenhall' in the thread title should be removed or amended?

(Pretty sure I've seen vehicles with the new address on the legals!)

The other day I noticed a Carolean Turismo plain white with there logo on in the Fastline yard on Wednesbury Road there was another smaller Merc Coach a Tureno I think maybe in Plain White parked next to the fence not sure if that belongs to them to or Fastline couldn't get reg as was on the bus at the time.

The place where their yard is used to be a place where caravans used to go a lot then the council blocked it up with concrete barriers, then obviously Carolean have came along and fenced it all off to be honest their yard is pretty secure it's for thick barbed wire around the side, but this vehicle has been off site for some time now, but it hasent been seen since the day they got their ticket machines and I heard this bus got targeted that day so I'm not sure if it's true, however it could of been vandalised while being so where else but every single window on the drivers side has been smashed a few have big holes in too.
