I think they will stay, especially if they are needed on School services that Midland/Arriva now run, what they were brought for.

Bob

Arriva have no other tridents other than the Wardles ones, they could be swapped for a pair of step entry dd's from thereif theyre mostly for schools. and as nearly all of Midlands fleet are absolute nails, theyd fit in

Discodave

They are use in service too Bob I know the 19 is a waste but to show a good Image I know we all hate darts but low floor is a must in the West Midlands now plus upcoming regulations outlawing step buses it would be a waste swapping Wardle probberly may have deckers cascaded from london  like the blue geminis will not have to do much with paintwork though being red.

Bob

Yea but other than schools no Midland routes ive seen even fill an MPD and theyve got til 2015 officially to replace step entrys aint they

Bob

In fact wont B6s be wasted on most of the routes. If theyre too underpowered to handle the Cannock routes which theyre probably the right size to operate how they gonna cope with Dudley hills?

Discodave

They will not and just overheat like NXWM ones you know what Arriva are like never have a clue about anything West Midlands or otherwise

It won't take the Midland drivers long to get used to hearing 'ding ding ding ding'

There would be a few expletives and one of them would not be kaput
