1656 on the 11/12 due to 4210 breakdown in Leamington Spa. I saw white smoke out of the Engine and Mansfield truck taken 4210 return to Coventry garage.

That is strange as I saw (and photographed 4210) being driven back to the garage under its own power after being taken out of service this morning. See below for the photo

[Daniel541]

I saw mansfield truck the 4210 then 4210 start the power was working about 10:05am then Mansfield truck doesn't need ramp on 4210. I think it Mansfield truck just follow to 4210 from Leamington Spa to Coventry.

I caught the 09:10 Pendolino from Birmingham which arrived at Coventry at 09:31. I photographed 4210 as seen above at 09:40 then caught the 09:47 to Bletchley. 4210 was certainly not in Leamington Spa at  10:05.

I have sent to Tony inbox Thank.

It 4210 leave from Victoria Terrace about 09:05 to Coventry. My watch is wrong the time and been changes one hour off.

An evolution on the W1A is not rare these days its probably the most common vehicle type but a good spot finding a trident on the 85/585 also has been a trident on the park and ride south the last couple of days.

Really? The omnilinks are going? I wonder where to-NXWM would have to go to the expense of repainting them into red livery first and why would these transfer out when Coventry have mercs still to replace? Seems bizarre to me though it would no doubt make sense to concentrate the omnilinks at certain birmingham garages

Hi, Peter123


Most likely, North Birmingham & Sutton Coldfield bus review need more buses and Just only repaint the front Omnilink.
