Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

4355 is parked top right-hand corner in the main depot facing the fence (opposite end to the withdrawn Mercs)

Looking at the photos on the interweb it looks like the top deck is unsuitable for Human transportation

Amazing timing there - NX's way of celebrating bonfire night (a day late, but still) even with fewer Mercs, it can still be managed  ;)

On a serious note though hope everyone got out of fine - assume it was in service?

Shame it had to be 4355 - liked the Trident at YW - That's two Tridents from YW now gone this year which I thought were good buses. If there are going to be fires, can't they happen on the Enviro 200s instead!

Always recognised 4355 at YW as at the front of the upper deck it had pale white/cream panels (usually light blue) and had different air vents fitted into them. I assume due to the accident damage it sustained.

It had a front end RTA in early 2010 which is how it got an early refurb

This seems a little unlikely as 4825 operated the 07:43 journey from Bearwood to Stourbridge 9 service, arriving in Stourbridge on time at 08:26 and is still out on the same running board now currently operating the 20:50 Colmore Row to Stourbridge

1629 expired just outside Cousins before Dudley bus station, absolute chaos this evening, time to put these Mercs out of their misery, the lower panels and sills were absolutely rusting away to pieces as well
