40805

40805 venturing a long way from home in Hagley this morning. Is this a trainer vehicle now?

Has been in the garage for quite a while with engine issues. I haven't heard anything about plans for this bus though so assume it is still in service.

@j789 I wonder where it was going this morning then. Two blokes in hi viz were onboard hence why I thought training. Last time I saw a Pointer of that age in service at Worcester was an R-MSA on the 44 almost 2 years ago.

It was based in Hereford until its recent engine trouble but Hagley is not exactly on the way back there from Worcester! It may well have become a trainer though as it is a bit of a one of a kind in the fleet now.

From what i understand its having work done to the engine for MOT prep.

It would have been on its way for MOT as the nearest station to Worcester now is in that area somewhere. Today it's back in service at Hereford
