The training fleet is only used to train or refresh driving skills.  It wouldn't be on a route as they are not used for route learning, so could have gone anyway after you saw it

One from Tuesday I think 4131 turning onto Drews Lane from Washwood Heath Road around 9:20ish. Sorry about the lateness of the post but I have only just been able to get online to post

1452 on Beeches Road just now. Nostalgic seeing one of these round here again, let alone in use!

1780 passed the Megabus stop on Brunel St, Birmingham multiple times today...

I can't tell if it was genuine driver training, or if we were being spied on!  ;D

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.
