Yes, just travelled the length of the 37 from Solihull (on 4670  :) ) and saw the same six.

Travelled home this evening on 2211  8)

Wasn't so impressed by this one, was sat near the back and it seemed to make some funny indescribable noises while moving...

I found this problem when I caught an MMC    earlier, the one I was on sounded unwell made what I can only describe as a grinding noise, also alot of vibration from up top when pulling off.

My locals 12, 12A, 13, 22, 126, and the sixes every weekend :)

I think one has made it onto the evening 31s; just seen one go past my kitchen window a couple of minutes ago. If that's the case, it's heading for Birmingham now.

Probably 2201 you saw. Took a peek at the Running Board whilst aboard it earlier and it is a late board.

I noticed that on my first ride last Thursday. I went on two today and they both had the same sounds from the engine compartment - something loose, vibrating on low engine revs. Get the sticky tape out!

Perhaps just normal with the Euro 6 and Voith set up - other thing (but very much doubt) could be it's the regeneration process occuring - that makes a metallic type sound.
