Will WB get a Platinum on loan before the New Buses arrive for Type Training? Also if the 47xx are staying wonder what will be making way for Platiums 4914-4937 perhaps?

There are 29 boards for 74 (1 AM Board/2 PM Boards) so a PVR of around 27.

Someone else who knows my job!
At the moment I do not intend withdrawaing WB's 42xx

Given the number of vehicles that will need to be off the road this year for Euro6 conversion I would expect the trapped 42** to be invaluable for the likes of WB, PB and maybe CV too

Its been said the trapped Euro 6 42XX and 43XX won't be going anywhere for now as these and the ones at AG/YW will be needed when Birmingham goes Euro 6 in January 2020.

Yes and I'm sure as a driver he has a copy of the cascade plan, not.

Because of several unknowns including tender awards, possible emergency contracts etc even the Engineering managers haven't got a full cascade plan as I have only issued April's changes so far, so noboby 'knows' yet.

4929 out on the 5 at the moment. Looks very scruffy, majority of front panel is white where branding has been removed.
