Arriva Leicester

[Bob]

Working from Cannock depot isnt it?

[Busman Jamie]

3717 is at Cannock and 2748 at 1 of the Leicester depots

[leicesterbusadventurer]

My guess is that 4028 has been withdrawn as it hasn't been out since the 12th, 4749 and 4774 have joined 4763 and 4776 from the withdrawn DB250s as they haven't been out for at least a month, and still aren't tracking on bustimes, and 4201 is having a major refurbishment or repaint as I haven't seen that for months. 3305 must have only been temporary as that hasn't been out since the 11th.

In terms of the vehicles that are running, I would avoid 4511 as the fans are all blocked so it rattles horrendously, 4217 has part of of its front blind not working, 4213 is still at Wigston despite what the fleet update said and 4501 is back from its accident but I'm yet to see if it's been altered in any way.

4523 is making an incredibly rare appearance on the 104, something very very rarely seen.

Seems that 4511 got stuck in the floods at Crow Mills today. If it needs repairing can they please unblock the fans while they're at it. It was getting to a point I was starting to avoid it like the plague. Either it was really bad despite all the works back in 2014 which saw the road closed for 6 weeks or MMCs just can't go through floods.

I remember being behind 4725 going through a flood there in 2012 and that managed it.

Despite not tracking, 4774 is fine. It was on the 6 at around 5:00.

3317 had a very unusual turn on the 84/85 yesterday. I tried to get it into town (for a video due to it being extremely rare) but they kept it in South Wigston and let 4513 and 4518 go first. This might have been caused by 4006 leaving 15 minutes late.

2991 is now at Wigston. It's been on the 86/87 today.

[leicesterbusadventurer]

After about 5 months off the road, 4763 has returned to service. It's still in the old livery. I also noticed 2274 tracking on the 86/87. It wasn't running. It was 2402 and that might have been "4027" last Friday. It says 2402 hasn't ran since the 10th. Finally, 3307 is now at Thurmaston. It's been on the 14 today. I don't know what's happened to 3305, it seemed to only run for 3 days and then that was it and 4204 hasn't ran since September 10th either. I don't know what's up with that.

What an interesting day today. 4512 and 4517 are on the 44/44A/49 and 3109 and 4546 are on the 84/85. 4418 is on the 50/51. 3802 and 4532 both on the 127, 4749 on the 15 and 3300 is on the 5/5A along with 3318 on the 8 (Hinckley - Lutterworth).

My main concern now is 3106. It says it's not ran since the 24th (although I'm sure I saw it a few days later) where it did the 158. I know it's not AMD-SPWS as last week when I tracked it on the 47 it was 4001 even though it said that was on the 31.

One of the rules of the forum is don't quote of trackers.

Wrong vehicles are regularly shown. It can be something as simple as a ticket machine swap that causes the wrong fleetnumber to show on them

3807 was on the 16 earlier; swapped with 4761 in Loughborough - which was running the 127 towards Shepshed

so now 4761 is running the 16 and 3807 is on the 127

[leicesterbusadventurer]

Former Leicester Lowlander 4708 burst into flames in Luton yesterday morning, completely gutting the back.

[leicesterbusadventurer]

Thurmaston appear to have 4522 at the moment as it was spotted on the 127 yesterday. I don't know whether this is temporary or permanent.

[Mayfield]

I saw 5003 on the 127 yesterday afternoon
