Only seen Volvos on the 241 the past couple of days, is it still getting deckers?

Ah, thanks. It seems the BX02 Tridents are being used on the 241 more than the Y-TOHs and E400s

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

Just an observation - unless it's my imagination this bus must have had, comparatively, a small fortune spent keeping it on the road in recent years - it wasn't that long ago it was away for work for a week or more - could it not be a candidate for first Trident to be put out to grass in semi-retirement in the training fleet at some stage soon?  :-\

I would have thought the investment placed in it would be an incentive to keep it out in service for as long as possible

Well, if it degenerates into a lost cause, rather than trying to keep it going in the training fleet it might make more sense to cannibalise it. Ultimately I think the training fleet should get the best vehicles rather than the worst, as they'll have the longest active lives

Work in progress top yard nobody noticed

Nope, haven't had chance to pop round. Normally have a look on a Thurs morning after dropping my lad at nursery

Looks as though a drainage channel is being dug/pipes laid just outside of the perimeter fence in-front of where the two withdrawn Mercs are parked. There also appears to be something happening on the engineering block roof as there's scaffold up to there on the Second Avenue elevation

Look at the amount of time & effort that was spent on 1645, before it was seen as a lost cause.

Considering 4135 has just been refurbished & "only" needs a new engine, sure it won't be long before it's back on the road.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
