Rather curious as to whether 4600 has been seen in service since the 14th? Hoping to snap a few photos soon enough. Cheers.

Ah, okay. Cheers. Sounds a bit like a hit-and-miss one to catch. ;) Thanks, again.

No sign of 4600 on the 110 on the 18th or today the 21st. (or for that matter 4200 - is it still here?- or 4412) when I checked the 10 buses. Today is a bit of a mess. 3004, 3005 and 3932 were all on the 110 and I was going to Birmingham on 4411 when something went wrong at Bassetts Pole and it had to return to Tamworth empty. 4413 was on the 110 this morning but I have just passed it this afternoon on the Tamworth 4/5! I ended up having rides on all three single deckers quite accidentally.

4600 was on Tamworth locals

4200 and 4600 are sharing Tamworth route 3 this morning.

Next weeekend they are doing a shuttle to Statfold Barn - I don't recall that before. Have they had complaints of cars blocking roads?

Probably due to it's new status it's being promoted as a family day rather than an enthusiasts day where in the past you had to request an invitation it's now open to the public.

mikestone · March 16, 2019, 11:02:52 AM

While it is open to the public if I read the website correctly it is only open to holders of a limited number of pre-booked tickets.

I believe it's pay on entry up to a pre determined limit then no more admissions.

We currently have 3701-4 on loan whilst the deckers go away for retrofit

Does 3704 still have the knackered diff it had for years at Cannock? Surely all 4 are coming up for withdrawal ?
