Saw and snapped 4921, 4923 and 4924 today - all on Route 35. Are these permanent transfers to YW or just temporary?

I think they've placed their new acquisitions on the 2,3, 18 and 49, since I was in Kings Heath today and didn't see one.

They'll be used on any double-deck route, so any YW route apart from the 27 (and the 6 and 50 which are Platinum)

Well, the 35 is using  the 47** (18 - 32) and platinums mostly, at the moment. I suppose I'll have to hang around outside the garage for a few hours to get some.

1915 and Platinum are on 2/3.

@Jack , Omnilinks are not noteworthy on the 2 or 3, still one or two on there every day.

Thanks for confirmation - haven't seen one on there for a while, but yesterday it had a mixed bag on there! Are the remaining E200MMC's still regular sights on there?
