Tony has already confirmed which E400's are due, and has also confirmed that 4940 (one of BC's) made it back from Glasgow to Walsall paintshop this Monday before he did.

And 4942 has literally just gone past me at Scott Arms going towards Birmingham so i presume it came from Walsall?


EDIT: I can just see it in the distance travelling down the Walsall Rd whilst aboard 4768 on the X51

I saw 4948 & 4955 working in Glasgow on Monday.

Did someone suggest that the 10 BC E400's were intended for the 24 service?... Colmore row I believe?.. or are they all on solihull/ coventy duties? :-\    PS Are these veh's likely to gain names like the last lot?

They should be for the 24 but you will probably see the new batch appearing on routes such as the 22/3 and 900/957 with the 13 plate E400's and B5L Hybrids still making appearences on the 24.

Couldn't of worded it better myself. Except they were intentionally for the 24 precisely. As in, to make it 100% E400. So if 4906 was on the 24 then maybe 4949 could be on the 957. Wither way, it's forces the correct allocation.

It just means you will probably won't see as many Tridents on the 24 now
