7 out of 8 trams i saw running today were the new Urbo 100's, nos. 39-45. The odd one out was no.22. So how long will it take before all the older Urbo 3's return to service ?

I use UKRAILLOG.CO.UK to get the sort of info your after. 37292 now carries number 37425 and is owned by Direct Rail Services and is reported to be active.

Destination for 196113 is likely to be Donnington Railfreight terminal. Several Class 196's have arrived there before forwarding to Tyseley for acceptance. 2 carriages from 196113 have already been seen at Donnington.

10 years of up to-date information is a superb achievement, and i'm very grateful for it especially remembering when i started in the 1950's with the latest news at least a month old.

5Z32/33 has been cancelled, so i'll watch out for it in the future if it's a test working/driver training Class 196

    I imagine most, if not all, the wolves No 1 route would be operated by the original
    54xx lower numbers ie 5401-21?   Are there currently any nailed- on duties for the
     Ex dundee group  ie 5422-30?   I have only seen 5422 working recently
      on a 60 ? Service I think it was.   thanks
Wolverhampton today i saw ex Dundee 54xx's working the 1, 16 & 82 services along with several of the original Wolverhampton batch, so there appears to be no differences in their service allocation. A 'Trident' was also working on the 1.
