@BN I thought 5618 BV66WOY was already a Woods, Leicester vehicle?

Yes @winston  but been parked up for a while apparently.

Another one MOT'd at Wolverhampton and ready for Wigston is 4828.

53120 & 5398 MOT'd this week for Woods

53120 & 5398 MOT'd this week for Woods

@BN how come Woods don't do their own MOT's ? Bit of a distance between Wolverhampton & Wigston.

Remember Woods have an operating centre registered at Wolverhampton garage.

What's the designated (TC) and physical allocation at WN please?

There's no fixed allocation at Wolverhampton, the authority just allows 14 vehicles to be parked or maintained there at any time

Remember Woods have an operating centre registered at Wolverhampton garage.

I hadn't forgotten, but with Woods having the former Arriva Wigston depot & now much better facilities, I'd have thought they'd do their own MOT's for Wigston based vehicles.

I'd have expected Aston allocated Woods Coaches to potentially be MOT'd by NXWM WN, but not Leicester based vehicles.

Just a support function @winston we have spare slots and also as Tony says some are randomly based at WN so makes sense to help out where we can.
Bear in mind Aston & Wigston are now twinned there will be more vehicle movements depending on what work comes in, also the size of the fleet is quite considerable now.

53115 another one done for Woods

[winston]

53115 another one done for Woods

Thanks @BN
 
Any idea if Woods (Aston or Leicester) are due any mirrorless Levante 3A's? Thought I saw a comment on FB that 5 may be due.
 
I'm assuming that BV23ZVO delivered new to Woods, may soon return from Jason Edwards Travel, now that they've just received 4 x new mirrorless Levante 3A's
