Quote from: Ingleboro261F on October 25, 2024, 04:40:40 PMWhen all of YW electrics enter service, will that see most of the E400 tridents move to garages like WB and PN?
Why would Tridents move to PN & WB?

4570 BU04 BJJ has been withdrawn. Now tridents become joint least common bus type in YW as only 20 remain - just 4 months ago they were at 2nd most common.

It's perfectly fine just its tracking device is weak so most of the time it's a non-tracker as far as I'm sware.

There's no advanced notice of planned transfers posted, been like that for years.

Just seen that E278 is at PB, just wondering is that going to stay at PB now going forward?
