No there not, only 2990 is. The other 2 are in Derby.

So 4780 and 4798 are now at Burton. This leaves Wigston with 4803 as their last DLA. Will that stay or move west?

4803 eventually Telford-bound.

4780 was on the 49 this morning, so unless it was taken out of service midday or went straight to Burton at the end of the day is still in Leicester unfortunately.
2712 was also out on the 49, so unless these have been replaced it is likely that Wigston will be having a bus shortage in the coming days, with these departing and 2711 being elsewhere.

Yes 4780 hasn't made the move yet.

They should send one or two to Cannock in case they require capacity for the 74

74 frequency increase should address this.

Not really if a large number of passengers get on at certain times unless they wanna wait an extra half hour.. Deckers were introduced for a reason. They tried a half hourly thing with the 74A before. Soon got took off. Also it'll have a negative effect on 75 loads too.no end to end passengers etc plus cannock to Penkridge passengers alone isn't sustainable, & Penkridge to Stafford is already well served

You may be right Chris. It does look very smart. I'm wondering if it may be used on the 47/48 with the Enviro400s already on there, if it is Leicester bound. I have seen a few pictures of two in build pictured a bit before 4501 but they might be for Arriva in Southend or more for us (https://www.flickr.com/photos/128789124@N06/27536268966/)

There's more than just one due, and not all for Wigston.

Bob

Where else will they be going? Other midlands garages?
