MPD (Think it was 20605 or 20606) on the 002. Saw on Manor Lane around 12:25-12:30

Don't know how that's gonna cope with loadings like 30828 had this morning

What I don't understand is where the royales disappear. Theres 8 of them-202 has 2, 56 has 4? not sure-so should be 2 left every day-so 1 on the 002 and one on the 4/301. As it is at the moment, theres MPDs on the 4 and 002 and eclipses on stuff like the 40 which theyre too big for.... The solution? More b7rles acquired as there are a lot of buses withdrawn/for sale/off the road-centros, darts etc.

The MPD on the 002 today is 20605 just got off it. Ridiculous choice of bus for the 002. 2 branded buses missing today as 30828 is also on there.

As I mentioned before when I predicted 2 could be on there, 30807 has ad blue system problems so that could be off the road for a while as well. Royales are perfect on there to be honest and shame more of these weren't bought instead of the 23 MCVs say 15 more royales instead would have been nice. Still, good to see they are still buying up secondhand centros

And I imagine thats all tividale could find to put on there-they wouldnt have put it on there by choice but are having to use every bus available at the moment, MPDs and solos included. Shame that BX07BRV couldnt transfer over from long acre for a bit to cover on the 002 before it goes back to wessex if indeed it does

30834 on the 81 today. Seen on the Birmingham New Rd between 09:45-09:50

I spoke to the driver and apparently 30811 had an oil cooler problem and the mpd was the only bus available at the time,needs must I suppose

AE10 CUJ on the 16 today.
Daily alloctaiton

If its part of the daily allocation it does a lot of dead mileage considering it is allocated to Heathrow
