4193 was on the 14:45 53 ex Merry Hill today despite there being no school

Given the trend for sequential numbering I'm wondering whether at least 4333 - 4348 might move? Sending a group out of the middle of YW's batch would otherwise buck the trend.

I was thinking that the batch may run the other way & go past 4348 up to 4353, YW would then be getting rid of a number of non refurb'd TWM liveried examples / early NX repaint & non refurb'd (4346) & a NX vinyl wrap (4351). Although PN would have to put them through refurb, at least they would be freshly done

You could be right there, I'd forgotten about the YW batch being broken at that point by BC having 4364 to 4368.

I'm just working on the basis that YW may push to loose a particular batch where the bulk are none refurb'd  & YW's refurb budget has been spent in the main on buses that will remain at YW

Problem is that the majority of PEs budget is being spent on refurbing old buses which they are being sent.

I'm assuming it could be adjusted accordingly? Or possibly re-negotiated as fleet movements take place?

You said 4348. Our Survey says...Top Answer :-)

Is 4348 the only one at Pensnett at the minute or are there any more?

That was quick, although i suppose drivers don't need type training on them.

No, because Pensnett already operate Tridents. I know 4348 is from a different batch, but I guess these will be the same

i thought YW were meant to be short of buses?

Perry Barr Enviro400 4731 was sighted on the 50 today, maybe something to do with 4348 transferring. May be a loan until other buses can be transferred in, or even transferred to Yardley Wood, although I think transfer is unlikely

Got a feeling that this may be the beginning of the end for PEs Mercs, although i wonder what they will use for routes like 243/4 & 297 where DDs are not suitable?
