@Simon Dunn are you experiencing difficulties with the streetlites at the moment? Only it seems they keep getting replaced on the 002. Last night a solo was on there, and this evening a mellor has appeared.

Think I saw a Streetlite on the Wa 31 earlier?

Yeah but what I'm saying is these solos and mellors don't start the day operating on the service. They replace broken down vehicles. So I just wondered if there were some issues with the streetlites

We have had a number of Euro 5 vehicles suffer issues, which has resulted in moving some of the fleet around to be contract compliant

Are any, or all of them, repairable?

Are any, or all of them, repairable?

They were all withdrawn/scrappers anyway, but are showing on the disposal list - so I doubt worth repairing them and they've been written off.

[markcf83]

Thanks for that.

Those bromford Lane roadworks are causing chaos it seems. Hour delays on 4H.
