1407 and 1408 were both seen traveling down Washwood Heath road this afternoon on trade plates.
Not sure where they were heading or where they had come from, but they weren't to be seen at Miller Street later on in the afternoon.

They were on there way from Lea Hall, Don't know where they were going to.

WA for conversion to trainers? With them being the most recently withdrawn

All 3 reserve fleet B10Ls (1406/7/8) were moved from Lea hall to Miller Street, and were there yesterday afternoon. Must have just been hiding when you looked for them. The last one of the 3 arrived at 12:45

I saw them just before 12.30, so that time matches up. I had a little walk down there about an hour later, but it was quite crowded with vehicles, there's a lot down there at the moment. Thanks Tony.

572, 1413 & 1632 are new additions to Pensnett reserve fleet. There were more, but they are all I could see in the dark....

It's part of the training fleet and replaced Merc Vario 241 & goes around filming various routes for driver training purposes
