Is the PN yard being cleared of all withdrawn buses?

Making room for the Presidents I would say, with approx. 150 new vehicles again.

There's not 150 new buses due this year. Plus I would have thought that any Presidents or early Tridents withdrawn this year in serviceable condition, would be sold on to smaller operators for further service. Thus realizing more value than by storing then ultimately scrapping.

Would Presidents be any use to any other operators?

Dundee?

Dundee?

Looks like Geminis 4700-17 will move up to Dundee so no need for any Presidents.

Dundee?

Some Presidents at Dundee will be withdrawn this year as 4700 - 4717 are being transferred to Dundee.

[MW]

Is it actually confirmed that 4700-17 are going to Dundee?

What will replace 4700 -4717 @ wb

I was told by a reliable source within NXWM that it would happen.

Only a guess to be fair.

Personally I would have had x10 Halesowen- Birmingham
241 kept the same
Why are we trying to compete with a train?

There is no train service on this route between Halesowen and Birmingham. If we're talking about Cradley Heath, there's no competition, 6 trains an hour and around 20 minutes into the city centre, bus can't compete with that

Buses stop where trains can't is the only reason I could think of...

Upon reading the proposed changes again, I noticed the X10 is only meant to be Limited Stop between Five Ways to Quinton - to quote. Does/Would this restrict our ideas of having the X10 use Quinton Expressway to Halesowen - because now I'm thinking that it is literally the 141, but missing out certain stops along the Hagley Road. ??? Apologies if this has been mentioned before.

I hear that we are getting 3302-3305
