Shame Bauer Media didn't get their hands on 4346, as it was advertising their Greatest Hits Radio!

Which expired 18 months ago along with several other buses. It has several pieces missing and loads peeling off somehow I wouldn't think they would be slightly interested as it would be much cheaper to buy another vinyl wrap to put on a decent bus

Forgive me for speculating here, but am I right in thinking that owing to the reduced PVR at present due to the current lockdown, these 20 vehicles have been withdrawn in advance of the impending arrival of the 20 hydrogen vehicles? I believe I read elsewhere before that these hydrogen buses were due to be in service around April.

No, these are the withdrawals due to the arrival of the 29 electrics last year

Presumably frees up sufficient revenue equipment though?

Should we expect more withdrawals as not only are there 9 more new electric vehicles than withdrawals but I don't recall that many withdrawals when the last batch of Platinums before the electrics arrived?

That will depend on service levels at the end of lockdown which are still not known

Looks like the rumour I heard was true, and 3301-3305 are transferring to Walsall. 3302's page now lists it as 'transferred to Walsall garage 3/21'.

I thought those were meant to go AG and WB
