The commander is a shed

Have you drove that one Bob? You might say its a shed but no driver complaints so far, you must be mistaken.

why were the 4 envrios moved out  &I thought the low landeers were to be withdrawn as I saw 1 on 19 today

5 Enviros have left 2140-2144. They have gone over to Leicester to upgrade a route in Coalville I believe.

You won't see 4719 for much longer.

Ive heard it and seen the state of its interior...doesnt look or sound good...me and my mate were on a re trimmed y-hke dart on the 530 on Friday,  it was shocking, the brakes screeched loudly and the gearbox was frightening!  On the way back into town it was S212 JUA. is that going to be around much longer considering its age?  Are deckers used on there for any particular reason?  Ie cos thdy go on something else after? Cos the loads sure don't warrant one

2707 has now joined the fleet.

2714 and 2715 have left for Stafford.

Still at Wednesfield on the 530 today

@BN I didnt note the fleet number. It had a re trimmed interior although that doesn't narrow it down much and was onthe 530 on friday aabout 415 pm ish. It was really poor, almost as bad as BU51 KWM at cannock which stafford have now got to suffer.  Horrendous screeching brakes, and that dart thing where the gearbox cant decide and you sort of rock back and forth while it changes. Sounded incredibly rough. S212 JUA didn't sound too good either but made up for it with its non standard lower deck seating.

Mark.... FFS Give people a break. BN tells us things as they happen and some in advance. You get a summary at the end of every month of Arriva changes. If you haven't noticed you are very lucky on here that people from Arriva, Rotala, and NX all tell you everything almost as it happens. Questions very rarely get extra information.

Correct, they're for the Coalville town services.

Where's 4719 destined for?

2722 was destined for stafford

andyallen4014

2140/1/2/4 are at Thurmaston, 2143 is still outstanding but may be at MRC in Derby on route as I understand there is something that needs collecting from there.
