Gasket windows about 30 minutes, bonded ones a bit longer removing the old bonding and waiting for the new to set

Weren't the Lynxes a pain to wait for the new bonding to set?

Yes

Are there many vehicles in the current fleet with bonded glazing, apart from coaches? Most seem to have gasket glazing or the flush glazing system on E200 MMCs and E400mmcs.

3302 (935/937/937A), 3303 (946/937), 3304 (51) all out this afternoon

3305 going for MoT tomorrow, so getting there.

3301 has an oil leak which  needs a partial engine rebuild, but hopefully have a full set soon!

Hoping one will be popping on the 31 or 32 at some point, seeing they seem to going on a few different routes at the moment,  rather than the 7 as originally mentioned!

One of them managed a day on the 29/70A and came back intact, and they've been used on the 37/41 at night and came back fine, so I don't quite get what your comment is about, wouldn't exactly say the 51 is a posh route either.

I love Walsall buses

Appreciate YOU may not get what the comment was about, though I'm sure @Westy will as it was aimed at him, given we both know the area and the build up of posts prior.

You wouldn't exactly say the 51 is a posh route either, though I doubt it suffers the same amount of vandalism and broken windows as the Track routes do (that's what the comment was actually about).

Well Walsall are being brave anyway with 6718 on the 29/70A although only did 2 trips on the 70A before being swapped onto the 51 with 6721 now on the 29/70A after doing the morning SFA1 and will do the Afternoon SFA1 later on

Platinums have been on the 29/70A a lot before so I don't see why its only the 'better buses' that aren't getting attacked when it could be any vehicle, doubt the vandals care.
