Vehicles away from home garage 2023

As there appear to be 23 new Coventry electrics spread between BC and WA, has BC run out of spare room and is Bruntingthorpe still being used for storage? I'm guessing delivery will be completed in March (to NX at least, if not to CV).

Yes, BC if full, the branding team can put the livery on at a rate of 1 a day, so that's the current rate they are coming to the West Midlands from Hugglescote which has replaced Bruntingthorpe. Hopefully from next week Coventry will be able to run up to 100 electrics, so expect a flood into service if that happens

Thanks, Tony. I'm guessing also a mass of transfers and withdrawals will be facilitated  as well, presuming that happens?

Don't know if they're there at this precise moment in time, but I've seen a red/white E400 at Powertrain in Willenhall & a Trident next door at Dawsons, as I've passed by on the 326 back to Bloxwich recently, but don't recall seeing them listed?

4884 is going to be the first double deck to get the full refurbishment into two tone grey. I have dropped it off at Walsall tonight on my way home. It will go off-site tomorrow for chassis cleaning & waxing and then the bodymakers will get their hands on it on Wednesday
