West Bromwich and Acocks Green Conporation... Heritage buses strike again, this time on 9th November 2019 when NXWM held an open day at their Yardley Wood Bus Garage to celebrate 80 years since opening its doors. The garage saw a whole array of buses over the years, to the modern and old with a vast array of shop stands selling memorabilia. NXWM sent a number of buses from various garages, including some of their recently repainted heritage repainted vehicles, which there are now three in service. In September 2019 saw another Volvo B7TL get the heritage treatment following on from 4651’s treatment in Acocks Green Conporation’s gold and dark blue livery. This time around; long-time and original resident at West Bromwich 4679 has received West Bromwich Corporation Transport livery, as well as a complete interior refurbishment. So far since refurbishment, 4679 has also featured some nice little touches incorporated into the livery, which includes the old West Bromwich Corporation Transport logos on the side, as well as the silver rims surrounding the headlights, something that Yardley Wood continues to adopt for their fleet of Volvo B7TLs. April 2019 saw major timetable changes across North West Bromwich as well as the implementing of the low-emission zone in Dudley A number of Volvo B7TLs were cascaded between Acocks Green and Perry Barr, with 4635-4650 making the transfer to Perry Barr and then between Acocks Green and West Bromwich and then between Perry Barr and West Bromwich, with 4475-4496, 4508-4519, 4521-4534 and 4666-4675/4677-4679 making the transfer to West Bromwich and subsequently emission trapped to Euro 6 standards, whilst 4651-4665 remaining at Acocks Green but because 4651 has now being repainted into Acocks Green Corporation livery now and then 4679 has now being repainted into West Bromwich Corporation livery now subsequently emission trapped to Euro 6 standards, whilst 4498-4507 remaining at Perry Barr. Volvo B7TL Gemini 4651 (BX54 XRM) scurries along Yardley Wood Road during a running and open day at Yardley Wood Bus Garage.
