@Matt and guess what's dropped onto the last 002 ex merry hill. 30214

Saw you sat at the bottom of Drews Holloway a little earlier...

Let me guess you were either on the 9 or 22... I didn't see the 22 coming lol

22, 111. I'm that sad I managed to catch all 5 buses on the 22 lol. Oh the joys of having nothing to do 'til September.

Also of note is 20541 was on the 4H (trying so hard not to make a bob style comment!!)

S377 TMB on the 002. I must say I'd rather the royale I'm currently sat on.

30808 on the 226.

Has this been seen out and about much recently as I know it has had several faults...

@DiamondDart it's been on the 226 a couple of times.

@Matt a long bus (either a Volvo or a DAF usually) is getting normal

Thanks @the trainbasher! :)

Do you find they're needed on there?

Personally, I would have sent 30832-4 over to Redditch to cover for the Red Diamond repaints then put the VDL Centro's into Tividale, meaning they can be used on the 40 and 42/3 group, where if anything, full length b7rle's are a bit big, along with cadets? I'd then put solid b7rle's on the 304/4 group, with potentially cadets/full length darts and remaining b7rle's on the 226

It's almost been living on the 002, although it wasn't on today.

The darts are not very good on there as they struggle. The DAFs/B7s have more than enough power in them.

Has it? I've driven it a fair few times over the last 3 weeks or so, not had any faults with it at all. Driving it tonight on the 205 (on my break in Blackheath writing this)  and again no faults with it.

I saw it earlier on layover at Halesowen.

As an aside 30826 looks like its front LED needs reprogramming/fixed as it has had paper 002s in the front windscreen the last few days!
