Perry barr's 4914 at West Bromwich garage for the next week for vehicle type training for the west brom drivers. Told today west brom are due some E400's in the next two/three weeks

That should be the ones currently working the Commonwealth Games shuttles in Glasgow

Maybe, maybe not. Wasn't it stated WB needed more than 20. Unless of course more will be here to add to the ones in glasgow by then.

Oh ok :) I was looking at the time period given as those E400's are surely due in the next few weeks as the Commonwealth Games only last for 11 days.

Do you know where 4940 upwards are expected for then @tony

Yes thank you, and as soon as management tell me I can put it on the main website it will be on there.
Sorry if that sounds harsh.

What you have to remember is those 20 were built in May and taxed in June Alexander Dennis have had plenty of time to build some more, so those 20 may not be the first to arrive!

Which fleet numbers will the next batch take 5000's or 3000's ?

Probably just going to west brom garage to use the rollers in the workshop. There's a 45** parked in the front yard not sure where it's from or why it's there

Might it have been there for MOT as they are a year old now? Or can they do that at BC?

A 45**? Trident or B7TL (Wright Eclipse Gemini?)

Is a 42xx Volvo normal on the 42?

There haven't been many Deckers this week on the 42/3. They were appearing regularly a few weeks back but these were mostly Gemini's from my observation
