Its to standardise the fleet from what I have been told.

And raise a bit of money I would imagine!

Though it does make sense though seems a backward step

Hmmmm.....

I don't see how it is going to standardize the fleet when there are still another 5 x E200's on fleet strength, replacing 58 plate with 52 plate does seem to back up some of DiamondDarts comments

Not often you get a Hansons "unusual working" - Enviro 2601 is on the 231 today. The 231 is always Pointer MF03 BLU

That sounds like a good move, passenger numbers seem to be building up steadily

The 004 was never as busy as the 002 when operated by Ludlows, but it carried decent loads which a smaller operator should be able to make money from. Maybe Hanson's could look at extending it the Harborne to the QE & Selly Oak? It would offer some new links
