As well as heritage livery 4125 being back out, 4722 is back out today after 65 days with a replacement gearbox fitted.

E265 now at Yardley Wood, so just 4 new ones currently still stored (E234; E260; E275; E289) along with E018 which should hopefully be ready to go back to YW next week

Yet to see E240, E241, E270 - I know they're not tracking yet. Still to see E263 too - I'm waiting for her to be put on a route nearer Kings Heath.

Is E266 in service at YW yet or is it not coming?

Asking again as I think it was misunderstood.
Is 4590 going through mechanical work and can we hope to see it service again? If so will it be soon?
It hasn't driven in 12 days.

I don't think it will come out again Tony did say 4586 and 4590 may not run again and same day 4586 was withdrawn. I suppose we will find out shortly with the remaining 5 electrics going into service

4590 has now been officially withdrawn with 4602

Bit of a mix up with YW not collecting expected buses, but only 5 electrics now not at their garage to get ready for service.

E018 at Walsall
E234; E260; E275 & E289 at BC

E270 hasn't entered service yet as it is being presented for MoT
E240 & E241 have been found to have warranty faults and will enter service once ADL have attended

It wasn't that's why it's off the road. Walsall have had the best 4. A couple of the others, chosen by YW as the best ones are staying there for the time being

Tridentobt · April 25, 2025, 07:15:21 PM

Are they all the ones left? (Perhaps except 4604)

Tony · April 28, 2025, 12:22:34 PM

E264 into service on the 50

Ingleboro261F · April 28, 2025, 02:03:52 PM

E266 too on 76 (first 74 plate for YW)

Tridentobt · April 28, 2025, 05:06:40 PM

Great to still be able to see a trident (4622) on the 35 when only 3 others are driving.
