Just saw 1706 parked at Stand U in Wolverhampton Bus Station, displaying "Sorry! Not in Service". It surprised me seeing 1706 there. How come it is here?

Maybe on loan to WN???
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Whoa, 3 question marks. If I knew that, I would not have posted it in here. 😒 I thought the forum is here to ask questions/discuss? 😒 I will wait for a concrete answer from Tony.

I don't think Stu meant anything bad by it.....

Another possibility is it could be in Wolverhamton for MOT at PL?

The question marks indicated that Stu was having a wild guess. He wasn't being sarcastic.

@P419 EJW Sorry, wasn't being sarcastic, as Matt said i was just taking a wild stab as to why it may have been there.

I know that WN have been short of buses during the last week, thought 1706 may have been loaned to them.

A wolves trident broke down sent to pensnett so 1706 was given to driver to get him back to wolves

Very kind! Sometimes I do wonder with the amount of WN services that spend most of their time in PE land and what with PE now operating a sizeable Decker contingent, potentially some services could move back to PE, especially the 257, which yes I know interworks with the 256 that does reach Wolverhampton, but having these nearly 2 hour round trip routes together can cause delays to both routes, especially through K'ford and Wordsley

Isn't PE already at capacity though?
