Oh... Bet it'd be nice for them to have that one - 2630 is possibly the worst of the original Telford B6BLEs. Hasn't been refurbed (while most others have), and it shakes badly in idle.
This is a personal appeal... For Pete's Sake just save the #!@?$&% Scania's - don't let them follow the Dennis Falcons!

well I guess that explains why with the last round of transfers most of the old MPD's have ended up at Wardles.

Arriva is only transferring 19 of approx 40 current Wardles vehicles to D&G, D&G will merge it's current Longton depot in to the Adderley Green depot of Wardles. Elsewhere, it is suggested it was Arriva who approached D&G and discussion have been taking place the past couple of months. Formal takeover takes place on 9th May

Well Cannock certainly wouldnt be getting any back id imagine?  With them being expensive to run.  Wasnt that one of the reasons they were gone?
