Can't confirm whats currently being used , but reported elsewhere 4 new E20D MMC are due this year for EMA.

2378/9 2740 3740

and 2377 ?

3779 has been decorated in a festive livery

Neither actually cancelled, both ran just very late, but if you are using this for one of you 'The Railways should be nationalised' reasons have a look at the cause.

Points failure just north of Rugeley Trent Valley station trapping both early trains which had actually got there on time, now who owns and maintains the points? Oh yes - Nationalised Network Rail!

Glad you mentioned that Tony did wonder why there was a 170 stopped on the main line when I passed on the bypass about 655.

2209 noted on rail replacement in Lichfield this morning.

Yes.

3718 noted in service today

5998 is a Mercedes Benz Sprinter City, reg BL16 GAO. It's in all over white and branded for Arriva and has 2 owner names & addresses on the nearside.

Saw this in Lichfield this morning,  what a joke allocated to a route that normally has full size singles, maybe shires has eyes on the Scania's too and we'll end up with a fleet of these.....

5405 ( I think) is on one of these services tonight noted going into amazon

Just noted 6759 passing through fetherstone .heading towards Wolverhampton.

Arriva 2711 Y351 UON also on loan at Burton renumbered as 211

Looking at picture on Flickr this is numbered 209

Broken down pair of 158s causing some issues at the minute has been stood outside new street tunnel for just over an hour...

Will the 16 plate MMCs be reregistered before entering service on 66 plates or have they already been taxed?

If they do gain 66 plates, I wonder if they'll be Birmingham (BX) plates or not

6759 - 6765 are all registered / taxed on dvla website .

3869 is another Volvo in service here noted on the 4 this morning

4339 4707 & 4242 noted on stafford leg this morning
