4199 now has NXWM logos all round, and now looks one of the smartest Tridents at Pensnett

Is it TWM liveried? I fail to recall

Yes it is. The only Y-TOH Trident left at Pensnett in TWM livery

Trident 4609

Has had the logos for some time now :) (Yes the standard NX logos like WN tridents) Think I posted it in reply to one of your comments in the return thread :)

Looks as though the reserve fleet at PE has expanded again by another 10 new inmates:

Dart ALX200 3613 is also now stored at Pensnett

I also noticed that 1642 whilst returning to the garage is suffering from badly corroded skirt panels on the offside at least

I do wonder how they pick the vehicles to be withdrawn, looking at 1536 & 1549 they both looked in good condition,
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

They are both non-refurbished, and some of the oldest remaining, therefore their book values will be lower than others

Just saw 2 mercs following each other on the 244 Towards Dudley, Surprised one wasn't told to go empty to Dudley to save time.

What they often do is run a 244E to Netherton and turn to a 243 there, or indeed Old Hill if they're very late.

it was 1543 & 1743 running together.

What made it worse, i was shopping in Cradley Heath High St a little while later and the two of them passed me still running together on the 243.

241 is running in pairs tonight it seems, just saw 2100 and another B7 in convoy

When coming home today the 241 was 25 mins late when it arrived. I think it was 2089. When I got on the jammed packed 241 a late 140 (2154) pulled up in front of us and then 3 mins from Dudley another 241 overtook us. I think it was 2100. So there was a 140 plus 2 241's from Rowley regis-Quinton  running in pairs. Might explain why there was 2 241's running in pairs. Probably because of one road when it was the 140 (Hagley road) ;)
Buses near me are the 4M,24,89,140,205,205E,208,241,289

That's a different pair to the one I saw, 2100 was defo the one running late, was on the 15:23 from Dudley but arrived in Halesowen at 16:35 with the 15:53 right behind

The 241 I was supposed to catch was the 15:23 too. ;D Unless 2089 was the one on time and 2100 was the late one ;)

The 15:23 was definitely meant to be 2100 as I see the same bus every day doing the 08:05 and 16:05 from Halesowen and today it was 2100, I didn't see the fleetnumber of the one on time, so that must've been 2089 :)
