For some reason no E400h have left garage today, I'll keep you all informed.

Were they suposed to enter service today? Maybe tommorow but some appear to be still plain whit and green with no logos but that was sunday so they could be being vinyled up.
They were supposed to be in service from today (8th) however it's looking unlikely they will be in service tomorrow (9th) either, just chatted to the vehicle allocator and according to him and I quote "something's gone wrong" no idea what, but I'll find out! There are a good few already vinyed up and ready to go (see Tony's pics on main site) but at the minute as 4006 says they are in the yard doing nothing... I wanna drive one now, not look at one ;D!

Well for a start 5415 hasn't turned up yet, 8 of them have no decals on. More importantly none of them are taxed.

Not sure where you got Monday from?

The notice concerning type training, it says in use from the 8th dude.

Trident 4609

5411 Went down Pipers row out of Service today which i took a photo of! Was this doing type training as there were 2 other drivers aboard

4006

I also saw 5411 going past the Beacon centre for the blind but 'not in service'

Trident 4609

It was going down Pipers Row When i saw it at about 1:25. Think they were type training

SMK

I saw it too.
I was on a B5 in Wolves on Market Street and saw it overtake us.
It was still "Not in Service" when we caught up with it in Dudley and when it left the bus station.
We'll get rid of your bus to Wolves and replace it with one to Walsall instead.......... Oh the joy of a Network Review. -_-

I saw it in Dudley, with quite a few drivers on board, on trade plates, so not taxed yet. Parked in the Bus Station for about 10 minutes before leaving again. Pic to follow.

Wonder what the purpose of the trip was other than to confuse every passenger it past along the route wondering why it didn't stop!
