2025 - vehicles away from home garage

[Westy]

2130 has dropped into the paint programme due to the poor condition of the WMB livery on it. It will go grey

Walsall's first grey single decker, if I'm not mistaken.

Not counting the original Platinums, did they have a grey double deck recently?

Two swap overs at paint today.

2159 back at Coventry with 2160 now in paint
4890 back at Birmingham Central with 4900 now in paint

When I passed Miller street yesterday there were 1 possible 2 electric's parked with the withdrawn buses, I thought they were all at garages now

They are 4 of the Zenobe 'off-lease' ones
E304; E305; E332; E333
NX are required to keep 5 out of the 10 on their premises
There's currently 7 as E004; E017 & Z4008 are at Coventry
The other 3 Z4002; Z4004; Z4005 are at Roberts in Hugglescote

I am guessing that 2023 ( BX61LKK, Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclispe 2) is away from it homes depot (WN) to (WA) as it has be seen doing the 29 today and other various routes in walsall yesterday. Anyone got any details on this?

How come the 2 enviro 200mmcs are getting engine rebuilds? Weaker engines?

They're 10 years old! They've done quite well for a small cummins engine

@Tony I see 758 isn't on the list, do you know where it is currently?

As it is not on the list, guess where it is! This is the list of buses not at their home garage.
