1774,1775.1776.have been downgraded to training buses(when converted)1777-1780 withdrawn as of last week.

Are 1777-80 back in service now? (think you did say 1779 was returned to service quite quickly anyway) with 1774-6 as trainers (or is 1776 back in ordinary service too?).

I've got 1774/5 as trainers, 1776/1779 back to normal service, 1777/1778 & 1780 in reserve.

That's exactly how my own notes read - I assume those 3 are still in reserve.

1776 appears to be a part time trainer ,doing the occasional day on service ,1779 reinstated to a service bus.

Is this the only one coming north @Tony, or will there be more to follow? I hear 2249 is getting swapped with one of our StreetLites, is this permanent?

It was already answered in another thread, 2249 and 2250. The Streetlites are needed for TFWM wins. NXWM have won lots of these but they don't have any sutiable buses which is why they're using virtually empty deckers on the 10H and 36. So I would assume so.

Its been said that the 6 will be getting new Electric Double Deckers at the end of the year. Which will free up the rest of 2230 - 2248. So I suppose there is a possibility more could follow at a later date, but they could always just end up at another WM Garage.

Thanks @2206, I didn't see the post in the other thread.

Good luck with the streetlites .

Not seen it mentioned on here, but apparently they're for BC? According to what someone has said on Rail Forums.
For the 36 and 10H then?

I've heard that a couple of 17** are coming down to join the training fleet

Apparently 1780 is coming back to Walsall.

Just 1780 at the moment, not two
