Arriva Tamworth

There is an Arriva StreetDeck, presumably 4600, at Newpower. In for conversion? https://cbwmagazine.com/minister-visits-newpower-factory

I did hear rumours about 4600. The fact is, outside of London there are few full-height Wright Streetdecks or Gemini 3s in the Arriva group. In fact, 4600 was probably the only one until last year, when four Streetdecks were transferred from London to Merseyside for rail replacement duties. Those have gasket windows, whereas the bus in the photo appears to have bonded windows instead.

Yes, 4600.

4600 seems to have been re registered (unsure of what to) as no result for FJ64 ETZ on https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/

Just a thought could it be DVLA are in the process of changing the V5 to electric.

[Mayfield]

Probably not as First Leicester 70102 is still a diesel on DVLA web site, about time someone got their act together and corrected this.

Somethings on the DVLA site are quite annoying. It is easy to do a change of owner, change of registration, change to SORN etc, but you cannot change things like colour and fuel source on line you have to manually fill in a box on the V5c and post it to Swansea to get it changed.

I'm sure it would be a lot more accurate if these could be done on line as well

That's to sensible and common sense for that to happen with a gov. Dept.

More like HM Gov would love to do it but as it requires a contract, and lots of fees by capitalist scummy IT companies like Fujitsu... and end up with something like Horizon...

You are probably right didn't think of that

[joieman]

Yes, 4600.

If 4600 is being converted to electric, would it remain at Tamworth or could we see it potentially move elsewhere?

It's moving to Leicester to be evaluated against the Electroliners (according to what I read in an article earlier).
