Out of interest, why was a trident on the 276 today when there were a few non tridents on the 246? Of course I was glad to see one on the 276 as it deserves deckers especially at peaks but was curious.

If anyone wants a "blast from the past", pop to PE and on the car park you will see 1644 (fire damaged although it must move under it's own power), surrounded by a B10b (1346) and a B10L.

No it doesn't move under its own power, why do you say that?

That is PE for you, before now a B7RLE has been on the 9 while an Enviro has been on the 276...
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

The passenger loads on the 25/27/27 need mercs at best, B6s cant really be used on the 27 especially not in this weather as theyll just heat up like ovens due to the hilly terrain, some journeys on the 25 are rather busy. So hopefully 4535 will be back home

1645 was on the 297 today, got a piccy :D

4193 is the lowest number so far matt

Yes, haven't seen 4192 yet?

Also spotted 1645 today, although it seemed to be struggling again. Would have thought that PE would have taken it out of service by now, as over the last month, seems to have spent more time at PE than on the road.

4192 was out on the 900 today so its still at BC at the moment :)

Are any WN tridents due to move to PE Tony?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Trident 4609

I would imagine Tridents will stay at WN as 4135 has already transfered and PE Already have enough tridents.

4609 wouldn't transfer as most of the 460* range at WN are 529 branded.4609 has been on my local route 59 :)


You will never have my tridents Matt ;D ;)

Liverpool Street

Can anybody give a PE fleet list as of 15/07/13?

As I said the better B6s from Pensnett might transfer to Wolverhampton swapping with say 4535-4539 for example. For the reasons I stated previously

Not really as things seem to be moving daily at the moment.

It looked like 2 B6s may have been getting ready to move today somewhere, especially as at one time 4535 was parked next to them, but that may be only theory.

Maybe. But why would PE need extra deckers. If they get more tridents they will probably transfer more from BC. Although i know you would love to have our tridents ;)
