There was a 51 plate Volvo on the 48 today seen in Cotteridge, possibly the oldest vehicle out so far?

Possibly. Not particularly noteworthy though

In normal times no it wouldn't be unusual, however when was the last time you saw one of 51 plate Volvos out? Therefore I would say it was noteworthy in this instance.

It is the first day that WB have used there B7/ALX400. AG started using theirs last week. The entire fleet is now available for use again and garages have been asked to use DD as much as possible, so these 42xx take priority over Scanias

No. In Crimson livery still as spares.

Looks like some Scanias are starting to reappear on services noted 3/3A and 46 are mainly Scanias again.

Any idea what's going on with 4687, 4690-4 as they've been sat on the back yard at WB since Friday.

Yes, on the weekdays they seem to be back again but Saturdays appear to be solid Double Decks still.

They need some adjustments to the Euro 6 system before being used, so Scanias are having to cover for them. 4523 is the same

Ah ok Thanks Tony. I imagine Scanias will be more common from tomorrow anyway with Service increasing as the 47s allocation is Scanias.

Can Scania's actually get around Hateley Heath? I know one did it and managed.
