Probably went past him to quick and he didn't see it 😂😂😂😂

With all the numerous PE route changes I can see PE PVR increasing! Or at least if not the PVR the type of bus requiring changing as the review will lower PVR on Merc routes including 205 and 297 and boost it on B7/Enviro/Trident routes, so any news or just general speculation how this is going to be done?

If anything the PN Pvr will reduce, part of the 205 is moving to WB as an extension of the 127. The remainder of the 205 is cut short. The 297 is been cut short both ends, with only the Halesowen - Merry Hill section being replaced with an extension of the 241. With the inter-working of the 140/141 & 241 from that date, that may also reduce the total number of buses required.

It sounds as though the Trident fleet at Pensnett may grow, whilst the Merc fleet will no doubt reduce.

@Stuharris 6360 it was at Stourbridge Junction because a tree was on the verge of collapsing. Special Branch called Network Rail to get to the root of the problem :-)

:D :D :D :D :D

Called into PN earlier, can't say i saw any work going on although it was pouring with rain.

Not much to see really, although 4135 was in the dead box awaiting its new engine presumably, but also missing its front grill.

2 Tridents were awaiting there next turn of duty along with 1642. It is strange when you visit these days as there are very few Mercs about, shows how much the Merc fleet has been cut back.
