There is a chance this has already been answered somewhere else (bear with me, new to the forum and all) but are the excels going to be used in service from Pensnett?

I can't understand why they are bothering to keep these to be perfectly honest, are they still for sale with Volant or not? Will just end up being scrapped I presume

I highly doubt it no, PE have never operated Optares and they have just been moved their for storage and most have previously been up for sale

Pensnett have operated optares. They had a fair few solos back in the day for the mini Dudley/Merry Hill routes

Off topic a little, but it saves making a new topic for one question;


Does anyone know when the PE Enviros are going to be out in Service ?

[the trainbasher]

When the route changes

When the route changes

Where they changing it, is hazard a guess at next few days as they look set to go in tonys pics, probably be a gradual change over rather than instant

[karl724223]

222 no route change only timetable changes and should all be out on the 27th jan

1664 engine fire yesterday quite bad looks to be written off

[wilmotm (Matt Wilmot)]

Only 2 B6's out on the 222 today, had probably my last ride on one as I'm not often in Wolverhampton or West Brom and not going to Merry Hill for another month or so, and sure I saw a loaned Merc on the 243 with blank blinds today probably to cover for 1664 then

Literally just seen this coming into Dudley so are you sure? Seemed fine, was it 1640 maybe?
