Vehicles away from home garage (2020)

[Stuharris 6360]

Doesn't this make a pool of 5 buses (3301 -5) very expensive to run with not only having to order parts as and when needed but also the fact they tend to be off the road for an amount of time if a breakdown occurs.

6113 was on the 5 this week and it wasn't tracking on the app at the time so that one is either broken, or dodgy. Was also told 4670 at Coventry has been dead since November but happy to be corrected on that?

Is CV 4677 under assessment/repair?

Possibly resulting from Wrightbus's problems in this instance. Presumably normal service has now resumed?

I think they have yeah. The Leeds ones have been built now.

[paulb1973]

Yes

Ah right, I'm hoping this one makes a return eventually.

Below is a list of vehicles that have not been in service this week, specially for those looking for particular vehicles.
If, of course you have seen any of them in service let me know as the tracker isn't working and I need to report it!

4306

@Tony, 4306 was on the 6 yesterday afternoon, so presume the tracker was broken.

No, tracking fine, just wasn't used last week

The menders I bet are having a field day at the moment with the sudden spoke in RTC's in Wolverhampton. It's bad enough seeing all the bodges without hearing of drivers taking out bus station furniture, drivers going the wrong way up dual carridgeways, cranes taking out the sides of vehicles and all the arse enders and side swipes.

Should stop dragging all sorts of scruffs off the streets to get bums in cabs. Doesnt do much for passenger safety.

That's a rather broad, sweeping statement!

And a completely false one

Isn't 1871 on loan to BY @Tony? I'm sure I saw a post earlier of it on the 8A.
