Seems to be a fault on 5403's front LED, on the 24 to "dgate Valley immons Drive"

That's how Norman Collier would have said it. Apologies to younger members of the group who haven't got a clue who Norman Collier was.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Pity he is not still around, he could have re recorded the announcements for the 22/23.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

No, they are going to Dundee

Trident 4609

Winston, Sorry if it has been answered but will these be replacing anything (Solo's?) or is there a extra requirement at Dundee?

They are due to be replacing S & T-reg Solo's at Dundee, there are currently 6 left in service. Once the service changes take effect on 5th May, 4 should be sufficient with the reduced Pvr to withdraw all 6
