Saw a red B7 on the 56 earlier this afternoon from a great distance, possibly 862?

It was 858 also transferred I believe
presumably after you saw the photo on the main site

I remember when some of the Red B7RLE's were moved over to Tividale to operate on the 559 service to Ashmore Park. They were taken off not long after though
