They've had them on loan before a few years ago now.

Clearly type trained otherwise it wouldn't not be out in service!

A few years ago yes, drivers come and go since then. It was a simple question.

It isn't too much of a problem on a peak only board that only has one driver as the driver can be type trained on it before it goes out and doesn't have to hand over to another driver.

Ah I see, that's fair enough, thank you for simple answer.

6913 on X4 last night, presume loan

I take it 4764 and 6108 are no longer on loan to Walsall garage.

Tony

Perry Barr are in a worse state that Walsall this week, who have cleared most of their diesel repair backlog, so 6108 is now at PB

I'm guessing it's a tracking error but Bustimes it's saying 6985 is on the 11 to Walsall ?
