Pensnett Garage

[Mike K]

only 2 lwb excels left up top yard
b7 on the 9 tonight
1515 on 141 earlier due to breakdown
4816 try yw when finished

The plot thickens with 4816, guess we'll have to wait and see.

[Trident 4609]

Lets just say i have been told by somebody i would say is a reliable source and i know the new fleetnumber of 4816 but as tony said I can't say anything about it.

If BC do get some NEW Enviro's I would love the Cov Road Routes to be upgraded it will be Great to see NEW Buses on the 60 (if BC do get some) but I'll still be happy if they were to upgrade the Pershore Road Routes

I think if they were to upgrade the Cov Road they'd prioritise the 900/957 as that's their flagship express services along it. But I could be wrong, if they got enough Enviro's they could update the whole corridor. The 59 would be awesome, I'd love to see an Enviro around Kitts Green and Yardley  :P

Agree with the comments about the Bristol Road though, the buses are very outdated. Same can be said about many other BC routes as well though. Other than the 22/23/24, all the other double decker routes use decade-old Tridents. Think they definitely need an influx of new doubles, especially as you'd think a garage which deals exclusively with Birmingham city centre would be the first to receive newer buses.

Oh and sorry if it's been said before but I must have missed it - what happened with 2154? I'm aware of the circumstances with 4816 but not heard about 2154

Nothing has happened to 2154 other than it has been painted/delivered new in NXWM colours (rather than NXC colours) & will go to Pensnett as a replacement for 4816

2154 was sat on the front of the depot yesterday!

4829 has just gained a lurid yellow Megarear, advertising a concert in Leeds. Eminem's there so don't bother going.

4802 has also lost its Megarear a few weeks ago

[John]

There probably won't be a gap in the fleet numbers, it will probably match the new buses and carry a personallised reg plate to make it look like a brand new bus

I think that 4799 would be a sensible guess.

[John]

Wonder if 2154 will venture out in service tomorrow, is it ready to enter service yet?

4999 was my guess, but probably 4799 is a better one!

Or 4699. Then give it a similar reg to 4698.

Whats wrong with eminem? 4699 would seem an appropriate fleet number.

IF it's going to BC as suggested and IF BC are to receive some of the next batch of E400s, then maybe it'll take the number 4880, with new vehicles from 4881 onwards. There are, quite literally a couple of big 'ifs' there though, so could be way wide of the mark.

[Trident 4609]

Its not 4880 either and is not going to BC (As Tony has said i think this topic should be left alone). It is going to another garage.
