Pensnett Garage

Looks as though the reserve fleet at PE has expanded again by another 10 new inmates:

Morning chaps

Given that Pensnett is the most observed garage

I don't suppose anybody would know the whereabouts of 2090 2102 2103 and 2154 for today?

Many thanks in advance

2101 and 2103 are both on the 140/241

Cheers Nathan :)

2100 on 14:17 243 ex Dudley vice 1628

2090 on 13:05 241 ex Halesowen

2154 was on the 120, but probably too late for you now.

[nitromatt1]

Oh and 1743 on the 222 sounds rediculously rough, a belt has gone or something

1743 is a good bus, nice smooth braking, but very rattly. It might seem like it struggles sometimes as it has no kickdown, so cannot drop a gear for extra power or pull off hard, but it has enough power anyway so is never a problem.

Thanks Mike, got 2090 and 2103 then gave up and went home

don't think any mercs have been out today with 2 of the 3 buses on the 243/4 being 2084 and 2101.

The 243/4 seems to be either Fully Merc operated (Usually is) or fully B7RLE operated on Sundays

I thought Mercs weren't used at PE on Sundays?

They often are, a couple of Sundays back I think all or most of the buses on the 243/4 and 276 were Mercs, that's 8 in total

I thought the 276 was B7RLE on Sundays. Or it was last time I saw it (when the 289 went to Merry Hill)

Sunday 276's for a while have mostly been B7RLE's. The Merc appearances may be down to the Volvo's needing mechanical attention. The Tridents are probably just adding extra capacity down to people shopping for Christmas
