1918 now at BY for a couple of months.
4345 now withdrawn
4243 now withdrawn
5426, 5430 both expected to be at WN later this week.

4363 has 8 days left before withdrawal on MoT expiru

4679

How come 4243s been withdrawn thought the trapped ones still had some life left in them?

No just problems not worth fixing

4345 had a very short life at Walsall, wouldn't of made sense to of stayed at Wolves until it's final day?

So those 'fake' Euro 6 converts were a waste of money... let's be honest the trapped bunch will all be gone soon no doubt. Still go better than any Platinum! Look at 4284 for example!

And why isn't WB getting anymore replacements? 1918 and 4243 along with 4524 and 4525 again at PB (presumably the rest of their ALX400's are going to die very suddenly? 10 Gemini's is surely enough.

Does that mean the 42XX at AG will have to come off the 5 and 73 soon if they are non compliant?
Maybe the 11 will get some new platinums freeing up the 61XX for the 5, 72 and 73 then?

Yes of course, my Crystal ball didn't predict the mechanical failure of rearm sorry.

10 geminis is surely enough for what? To replace 4753-62 to Pensnett?

Have a look at my vehicles away from home garage,
42xx at Graysons is surely the clue they are staying

Let's be honest, I had a feeling 6101-6110 as well as the others already there would replace the ALX400's...

Enough for the E400's gone yes, clearly not enough for the others going off, 1918, 4524, 4525 and now the ALX400's dying out. Can't wait to see the E200's coming onto the Decker routes because there won't be enough.
