32279
32280
32283

32281 is now staying a little longer in Manchester.

This will allow 20178 & 20181 to move to Tividale for prep & repaint in to Hotel Hoppa Livery for transfer to Diamond SE (Stanwell)

whilst 31419, 31420 & 31421 will transfer to Burton.
Looks a good chance to do some depot by depot fleet standardisation. Smart moves.

Quote from: winston on February 27, 2024, 04:16:16 PMNot 100% sure, but I thought the rear O/S main indicator on 6780 wasn't working when it pulled out of the bus stop infront of me, the upper rear repeater was though.
Thanks @winston I've let the depot know to check it out.

A lot of negative comments on here, so thought I'd post my experience.
60 from Lichfield to cannock, had 639, on time, decent driver, etc.
3 from Cannock to Norton canes, had 1 or 2 (the white one) again, on time, decent run
All seemed OK to me fro the day.
