Wigston garrage aren't they to replace the lowlanderd heading to Arriva Cymru??

Wigston have 10 Enviro400's coming for the 47/48 which should free up some more of the lowlanders to go to Arriva Crymu.

I don't know how true it is but I was told that the VLW's at Derby could be joining the rest of the VLW's on the breeze route 84/85 at Wigston when the 38 goes sapphire.

Presumably tamworths deckers will be Leicester bpund as well?  To replace ex london deckers?

CX04 EHY is actually fleet number 2742.

CX04 EHY is indeed 2742. Slip of the finger on my part.

2741 - CX04 EHW is also now working from Wigston.

Training bus 9525, (which Tony's photo site shows as based at Wigston), was on the A5 this morning at Stonydelph, and it looked like it headed off the M42 roundabout straight on towards Dordon.

Are any of the Sapphire spec E400's due soon? I read that they were due in August but they don't appear to be here still?

Any info on this would be appreciated :)

Thanks

2614 is back from Leicester - I have just seen it (unusually) on the Tamworth 4/5/7.
Only Guy Arabs (a choice of 63) stopped at my front door 1957-1964!

The Derby examples are being launches at some point this week I believe

I heard that the Derby service starts on the 18th.

2619 is now back in Tamworth. It was working the (revised) service 3 today with a paper route number stuck to the windscreen.

Indeed the service 38 is being converted to Sapphire on 18th August.

Some pictures of the launch are at: www.facebook.com/ArrivaMidlandsEast
