Passed the garage earlier (about half an hour ago now) on the 31 heading home, and could see what looked like two ambulances inside the garage, next to a parked up bus. Anyone any idea what's happened? (And please correct me if they weren't ambulances!)

Two police cars. Well one insignia and one Peugeot van thing. That's what I saw, unless the ambulance was there before.

Is that the first time an mmc has appeared on 966?

The 1 had a bit of variety yesterday, a Gemini, Eclipse 2 and an Omnilink, no MMCs though.

James4368 · September 21, 2015, 09:02:59 AM

2239 (YX65PXD)
Was at Solihull station 0845

Either on 71 or 72

MW · September 21, 2015, 11:49:12 AM

2241 on the 31 today.

I have a hunch 1944 will be departing soon, it's receiving some attention from engineers parked in main garage rather than engineering dept.

An MMC on the S1 is not unusual as more enter service and they are replacing the OmniLinis and B7RLEs
