Arriva Leicester

[LazyGuy222]

I saw 5003 on the 127 yesterday afternoon

Did you actually physically see it on the 127, as I know bustimes has said it has been, but the journeys it's been shown as running don't seem right, like it's afternoon journey started at Quorndon fox, allegedly 24 hours late.
Also recent photos of it are shown in the back of Thurmaston with a notice saying it has no tax.

It is taxed, DVSA shows it was retaxed from the 1st November

I actually travelled on it from Mountsorrel to Leicester about 16.00, i waited about 45 minutes for a 127 as I believe there was an issue in Loughborough, it only started to track about 10 minutes before it arrived and then did not track again so I was surprised when it actually turned up.

I see all the bendi's including East Midlands Airport ones except 5003 are SORN.

Huh, interesting. I wonder what for.

After 5 or 6 months off the road, 4201 is now back in service. It hasn't been put in the heritage livery like I was told when 4752 had just come back out but it does have the availablecar.com ad as seen on the other B9TLs. Also, does anyone know what's happened with 4213? I haven't seen it in Leicester for weeks but I don't think it's back at Derby either.

4748 being towed down Melton Road on back of Crouch Recovery vehicle towards Thurmaston depot I presume about 15.45

4213 is back in Derby - it was working on the 1/1A Alvaston sections on Thursday 21st November (it was my bus from the Railway Station to the Bus Station).

Alright, thanks.

Something very unusual today - 4757 on the 158 this morning. This was due to 3809 breaking down on the return in Hinckley so they sent 4757 to do the remainder of the journey. 3804 took over when it was done.

Former 5005 has now passed into preservation, though appears to be on hire to TM Travel at the moment for the 218 service

Ah, that's better. Hopefully they've done a bit of work on it as well so it's not so much of a heap.

Also, that's all Geminis repainted now.
