First Bus - Potteries

[Ashley 60171]

Reported on midlandred.net is that solo 53064 has re entered service there this week. Apparently this is being exchanged with 67643 but this is yet to leave Worcester. It also mentions the other withdrawn solos, so presumably the ones that were recently in the withdrawal shed listed earlier, are going/gone to First South Wales - I haven't been able to see if these have left yet.

There are 3 ALX400 deckers parked up withdrawn, it was too dark for me to ID but one is definitely missing parts so probably the end of the road for one of the W reg examples

Saw 32056 (3/4) and 32057 (32) on Wednesday so maybe 32055's bitten the dust.

32054 in corner minus engine. 32078/9/80 next to it assuming these are moving and more Geminis coming.

32077-81 were meant to be going to Bradford. 32077 already left.

32647-50 all now at AG and in use. Didn't see required 32650 on Wednesday though.

As mentioned, 32078/9/80 all parked up with not for use notices, be heading Bradford soon. Also noted 32632 has received the new livery. However 65041 is still in the old livery unlike all its sisters.
There are still 4 solos in the withdrawal shed. All are in the old livery. These could not be identified because of the drivers cars parked in front.

67643 now in service at Potteries

These 3 have left AG depot over the last couple of days, presumably to Bradford as planned. Not sure if 32081 also made the trip as unlike these 3 it's been out in service this week.

53041 has been repainted into the new livery. Plans were to withdraw this I believe when the 9th E200 came to join the other 8. However I read elsewhere it's instead been retained for the new 100 service starting next month

Checked today and 32081 is still at AG available for service use.
The solos in the reserve shed are now down to 3. I could only see the fleetnumber of one of the trio - 53058.

65041 is out on 6/6a/11 circuit today freshly painted into the new livery. It does not carry Route 101 branding like much of the batch does

32635 is the first Gemini to recieve 25 branding.

[staffsdave]

32632 32647 also 25 branded

[Ashley 60171]

The last three scanias. 60015 60171 61235 have gone for scrap.

[DVXXII]

32054 has disappeared from the corner of the depot where it had been dumped since it's engine had been removed. It has been reported it has been sold for scrap, but I'm not sure which dealer has taken it.
