Stafford's 2366 has been caught in a flood right up to to window level, interior totally wrecked, cannot see that getting repaired

[Bob]

And is Cannock getting anymore?

[Bob]

The P & R reg darts need replacing cos theyre knackered

[Discodave]

agree they need replacing but as they have only just had some 61 plates it will be a while just more cast offs

[Bob]

Newer 02 plate onward darts with the quieter  engines would be better than the old 1s

more than likely the midland tat

[Bob]

yea but the majority of the midlands are MPD darts, not really suitable for anything other than the 2 or 68, a lot of the time full size buses or bigger darts/sb120s are used on the 31/32/33

The famous 5 :) the 5 51 plate rattle boxes from cannock, any1 agree that these either need withdrawing or transfering now as they are too small to work Cannock routes?? its not just the 51 plates though now

2209 SN03 LGC
2268 SK52 MLE
2270 SK52MLJ
2274 FK52 MML
2276 SN53 ESG
2277 SN53 ESO
Just transfered from leicester to cannock, they are better than the 51 plates but theres no difference in size so are these really suitable for cannock?

[Bob]

the 51 plates should go to stafford and be swapped for W231/2/3 SNR and a couple of R or S reg SLFs i would say P314 FEA but surely thats up for withdrawal?

[arrivaaston]

p314 fea? wasnt this 1 withdrawn ages ago? theres p307 fea and p316 fea left at stafford and i agree about the w/snr darts, i started a thing on here about those

[Bob]

its not even on the fleetlist was definately in service there last week
