4407 has been doing the 3/2 for nearly all of the last two weeks
The streetdeck seems to have been VOR since march seeing its a early streetdeck it probably has some major issue

Guessing the rest are coming on later since the frequency goes up after 8am

Just seen former Wythenshawe Enviro 300 CX58EVN (2741) on the 786. On bustimes.org it's tracking as 4600

Cheers ... Richard

is it Euro 6 compliant?
Could we see it on the 110 at some point?

It is indeed so it's allowed on the 110.

was on 3805 earlier on the 110 and these ex manchester sapphires could really be used on the 110 seeing what condition that one was in compared to being on MX09 EKR the day before that.

Be nice to see if 4600 will ever return.

When was the last time it was used in service, NX can't seem to keep their 5 in regularly service either, parts issues I guess.

The problem isn't so much as what they are, just when a company has a large fleet of any type of vehicle they tend to sign a 'parts contract' with the manufacturer where you pay so much a month for each vehicle and all parts included are then delivered as soon as possible without invoices or purchase orders. With small batches when you need a part you tend to order them as required and pay through the normal system which takes longer

Big chunk of asset sitting around for 9 months and possibly more not earning an income.

4600 had a lovely turbo sound but also the lack of it being here means that the 110 has consistently had a SD on it since March.

Will any more E300 get transferred here?

The 110 has had SD consistency for years not just since March.

yeah but when 4600 was here it was at least possible to cover the PVR of 10 with all deckers. I just don't get why 9 E400s were ordered when 10 were needed. Maybe the frequency was lower back then but from what I can tell SDs still made it onto there often
