According to other posts in the forum, 3810-12 'were' heading to Tamworth to join the rest of the batch.

The 30 Citaro's are replacing the 30 Volvo B6BLE's that are all going to the Midland garage on the takeover day.
I'm sure that Tamworth are taking on the 112 from Burton, so they may be needed for the 112 as well. I'm not sayign that they do need them, they might need them if Tamworth are taking on an extra route. It would also make sense to keep all of the Batch of OmniLink's together at one garage.

Tamworth will have an ultra modern fleet then!

The best fleet as always no s**t like Cannock

[arrivaaston]
