Anybody have any idea when west brom are going to get anymore Scania's and get rid of more mercs?

I think the Mercs will start going as and when MoT's expire so I'm assuming more Scania's will arrive once this happens?

Unless a mechanical failure occurs, maintenance budgets for Mercs must now be very low ..

If it helps, 1945 was being prepped for transfer earlier today. Another went for steam cleaning a few days ago, which would suggest a departure may be likely?

Has nobody else noticed the First logo on the stairwell on 4741?

831 on 42/43 with what appears to be accident damage repairs - Has a new rear bumper and engine bonnet.

831: I noticed that too at nite when I passed it the headlights highlighted the brush marks, my thoughts really a brush finish on 12 month old vehicle , I wander if they used tekaloid or knacker lacquer which would be appropriate for said vehicle.

And of course the mk1 E400's...
I think that once all of the 57 plates have been put into Crimson they'll stick onto the 82/87, considering that they have been transferred to WB for those routes.

I saw 4503 & 4504 on there today, lots of 47** Geminis on there today. Is it my imagination or has 4504's cooling fan been fixed?
