4050 and 4075 are now parked back to back inside AG. 4050 is nowhere near as bad as 4075

Any chance it could be repaired

I'm sure Tony might know better, but with the age of these vehicles now, and probably only having a couple of years left in them, depending on what work needs doing, might not be cost-effective to do so.

Big bouquet for the driver of 2115 today on the 71, who waited patiently at the bus-stop while a middle-aged lady did her best to run 50 yards to catch the bus ...... I know many other drivers will happily do the same, but it's always good to see such a "courtesy".  Well done!

Rather than hijacking the Pensnett thread on this, having read that 2103 is the 'first' to transfer there, will there be more B7RLEs moving from AG to PE?

I know it was previously suggested that PE would receive more B7RLEs, but it does seem strange that with AG being short of buses as it is, what would be likely to replace them? Keeping fleetnumbers in line, this suggests that 2099-2013 will be leaving, as PE have up to 2098 already. More Omnilinks from PB? And can PB spare them, even with the new Enviros?

I'd guessing some of the new E400's will be releasing Omnilinks for transfer to AG

Has anyone seen 2103 today, personally i don't think that it is a transfer, but maybe a loan. saw 1686 on the 81 today so it's back at WN

I'll look out on the 71/72 just in case 2103 has come back :)
