@Roy any timings for 1695 please?

@Matt someone told me 1695 had failed ealier today

[Roy]

@Matt I saw it in Wall Heath on the 1230 Merry Hill to Wolverhampton service.

@Matt I saw it in Wall Heath on the 1230 Merry Hill to Wolverhampton service.

Thanks Roy. Looking at the timetable, it would have arrived at Wolverhampton at 17:50, I don't know anything about Wolverhampton's boards but it may have gone out as the 18:05 256 to Kingswinford, as that journey is not tracking

1695 is back in garage

Failure, or finished its board?

According to someone i know, 1695 broke down in Wombourne on the 255, probably around 1540?

For the first time for a long time Wolverhampton have managed to get all 14 B6s in service together, with all of them out this morning.
(All 15 E200s are also out today)

If 1695 broke down in Wombourne, it wouldn't have been at 1540.  It was scheduled to pass though Wombourne at about 1415 on the 1350 Wolverhampton to Merry Hill service and at about 1715 on the 1630 Merry Hill to Wolverhampton service.  It could be that it broke down at about 1415 and was still in Wombourne at 1540 awaiting a tow back to Park Lane.

It was broke down at Merry Hill displaying 255E it was on the patch then at about 15.15 it must have missed a trip or trips as another 255 was at Merry Hill at the same time

Just a random one if anyone can tell me why 4001 is 2 inches lower than 4002? also why has 4001/2 have fold away ramps that are stowed near the doors but the other spectras have the normal fold out ones?

4001/2 were prototypes, 4003-22 were ordered after those two had been in use so the company got chance to change the spec to what they wanted.

4001/2 are lower than 4003-22, but I thought they were the same height. Is it just that 4002 has got a height sticker in it from the production batch or is it actually taller?

3601 in wolverhampton bus station @ 11.00 I think on training so may b about this morning for a while
