I wonder if some of the enviro 200 will turn up on West Brom's Birmingham services occasionally. As if WB are unable to put all the B7 double deckers on them due to some being off road (apart from presidents) these will be the only other buses at WB to meet the emmission requirements.

Registrations for all 30 are now on the main site at http://wmbusphotos.com/NXWM/fleetlist/0501-0720.html

Hi Tony

The registrations you have for 824 to 830 are the same as those for 814 to 820.

Tony

That is in the process of being corrected, it is just taking a long time for updates to actually get on at the moment, several more photos including 804-806 should appear any minute

803 was in service on 99 on Tuesday, I understood the driver to say due to the failure of a Scania.

I wonder when they'll appear on WB routes, can't wait to see them going past my road on the 46. Will 83/89 still be Merc operated after the emissions come into play?

Looking at the photo of 805, the interior looks a lot more blue than gray, has the design changed again?

I have uploaded a video of 805 on YouTube I'll add the link to the video later but I've named the video wrong I've put 804 by mistake but its 805 I'll rename the video later.

Went past pensnett today on 297 couldnt see any new e200's, but there were a few b6's parked up with quite a few e400's so they may have been behind them

No it must be the light in that picture, they have the usual dull grey interior colour scheme.

bet i'll be one of them lol :D :D

plus its the only place on the 46 or 47/A where you can really see what a bus can do. Somehow you can't do 40mph round Hateley Heath! i've tried but failed (too many turns lol).

can't wait to get one on the 5. then it'll be given a good test! ie hills, pensioners, kids, stop start etc. ;D
an empty bus is a happy driver.

What about the 74. How many commuters can you pack in :-)

True - but 669 was used on the regular 14/14E morning peak B6LE working on Friday morning.  Was this the final B6LE working from BC, or was one used on the regular 24 working in the evening peak?
