Brand new Enviro 200's 2140 (MX12 CEU) and 2142 (MX12 CEY) are operating the 257 today.  An older Dennis Dart was on the 142.

I'd imagine it's just a case of practicality. It's probably the closest garage they can use to operate the new Black Country tendered routes from.

For quickness in establishing a depot. Pete's Travel used the unit(s) they're occupying as a depot, so I presume that the service pits and whatever else they need were still in place.

QuoteThe garage is in West Brom but none of the routes they operate are.

I believe Arriva won the hourly route 604 (Kingstanding - Sutton - Mere Green).  I'll be very interested to see what's running on that!

Apparently some Sunday/evening routes are operated by Cannock/bridgenorth garages.

Nice to see a good investment which must show they are making a positive impact!

I have always had a soft spot for Arriva and would hope that they gain more of a presence in the Midlands
