7027 was on the 37 this afternoon.

I'll see if 7027 is out on the 71/72 tomorrow because as I've posted in the "Buses On Loan" Thread most of the ex Dundee Omnilinks appear on there each day alongside 2105-2123. :)

I hope it has transferred. I never liked 7027 to drive, awfull brakes.

Start to press the pedal and nothing happens, then push it down a bit more and the brakes apply sharply

4672 got totally stuck right in the middle of Westley Road this afternoon - it just wouldn't move - and at one point there were 13 buses stuck too - 11 B7TLs, 7023 on the 1 and a Silverline vehicle. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
