Quote from: Tony on October 25, 2023, 08:53:31 PMWhile I do try to keep numbers together buses have to be selected for transfer when they have to be 'on the road', not defective obviously, have decent lengths MoTs unless the receiving garage agrees otherwise, and swaps between garages generally tend to try to match inspection dates if possible
ie not as easy as it seems!

Quote from: Tony on November 18, 2022, 07:58:55 PMIt has been on the 997 every morning for a few days according to the tracker. It is at Anston because one of the ariels was damaged when it arrived.
I saw E058 last Wednesday at Dartmouth Circus and it was behind me all the way to Coventry Road when I lost it, possibly heading to BC?

Interesting to hear about 4230, any more information on what these 'tests' are?

Typo Tony, should 4545 read 4546?

I suspected it might be, but thought they'd use E400MMCs on there when available.
