Pensnett Garage

[the trainbasher]

None! Because of there are not enough rest time in garage! Coventry garage has more rest time with Double Decker, Single Decker and Bendi. Pensnett garage should be like that rest time in Cov garage does what.

Unfortunately, although your statement was indeed clear, simple, and straightforward, there is some difficulty in justifiably assigning to it the fourth of the epithets you applied to the statement, inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicated and the facts, insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated, is such as to cause epistemological problems, of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear.

Just out of interest with regard to all these buses catching on fire-why do we think it is:
Random
Bit of hot weather
The Black Country's hills!
Mercs/B6s are old/unreliable/overheat
Electrical issues
Bad engineering

Just thought NatEx might want to find out so they can remedy it if it is poor engineering. Dare I say it tho-b6s have been overheating for years and it is a miracle that PE's engineers have kept them pounding up and down the black country's hills for 17 years on busy routes. Now had they bought darts.... :)

The problem i feel is lack of garage time, PEs B6s are so well used, Monday to Saturday it is unusual to find one in garage unless it is receiving some maintainance. Unlike the Mercs, B7RLEs & Enviros where there are always spare buses at the garage.

PE should have not have had to send so mant to WN, surely a couple could have been sent from another garage.

508 also replaced at some point today by 2078 on the 244. I did notice this morning that 508 was struggling up hills worse than usual but screaming its head off doing it

Think they are struggling with 508, it was in depot for several days early last week, and on Wednesday it was seen on Nanny Goat Farm, with two engineers with there heads in the engine.

It had a red sticker on the windscreen??

If you mean a small red round one, many buses do, can't see a connection between them

Alot of NXWM buses have that small red dot on the windscreen now. I've seen them on all WA B7RLE's, WN B7RLE's and WNs Hybrids

No this was a square notice, printed in red in the middle of the windscreen, couldn't see what it said?

826 has has had its 222 branding changed to every 15 minutes. Presume the others will follow.

a merc on the X96 sounds like a whistling kettle today

As far as I could see today all the PE Enviro 200's bar 824 have had their branding changed to every 15 minutes, can't remember the fleet number of it but on one it was really obvious as the rear window had just been cleaned around the circle showing 15 minutes, would it really have been too hard to wipe the whole rear window?

Anyone seen 555 lately?
