Title: Ex Demonstrators for Dundee
Post by: Tomjusttom on March 29, 2012, 05:39:51 PM
Hi all,

does anyone know what the plan is for 1908 (BG59FYF) whilst its withdrawn? Is it to be moved to Dundee or will it be staying down here at NXWM?

Cheers

It's destined to become Dundee's 2030 and will be joined by another ex Demonstrator BK10MGE which will become 2031. 1908/2030 is only in the West Midlands for a refurbishment/repaint @Walsall
