Hello Tony 

Is the YW batch still going to be E231-E279 plus the 3 E004, E017 & E018 coming back? 

A total of 52 plus the original 16 plus the 3 Z buses they have making 71? 

So they'll still possess around 30-40 diesel deckers assuming some of the Scanias go? 

Thanks

In that number range - Tony did mention that 147 Electrics are at Coventry; which would include E232/9/46/76 [and Z4003/9-10] sounds like they are staying put at CV for a while at least. Not sure if E278 is staying at PB, and E237/42/77 at BC.

E234 is currently a Zenobe spare. They are few others awaiting entry to service, but it doesn't sound like all that batch (E231-79) will all operate under one roof for a while yet.

You're about correct there, YW will initially have 66 in total as Coventry now have 147 not originally planned 140. E278 is due to move

You can take E181; E254(tracking); E268(tracking); E271 & E273 off that list.

E261 will be next, going to YW tomorrow afternoon.

E261 has just arrived at YW, needs an Inspection, so likely tomorrow afternoon or Thursday before entering service
