2025 - vehicles away from home garage

There was a 31/32 branded bus parked at Powertrain last week.

Any idea why that was there?

Will 2153 also get the new seat design or will it remain the same due to the type of seats it has.

Not away from home garage, but one I regularly get asked about
4632 has now got a rebuilt engine fitted, has been out on a road test, so will be back in service once it has had a 6 weekly inspection.

any idea why 4632 was chosen to have its engine rebuilt when there are recently withdrawn tridents like 4590 avaliable?

If you saw why some of them were withdrawn you would know it's not just an engine problem. Presumably 4632 only had an engine problem and was chosen because of that.

4873 just spotted at Powertrain Willenhall.

2130 has dropped into the paint programme due to the poor condition of the WMB livery on it. It will go grey
