721 all painted and vinyaled up at Meadow road this evening

Cause was a tyre blow out one of the worst places for that to happen!

I knew I would say the wrong one lol Replacing the older solos 472 and 473 as far as I know and one is already up at TM.

At the moment we are doing better than what we were. I ust wonder how long that will last

740 has transferred to Nottingham

We are waiting for 314 to return from being repaired and we were expecting back sooner than this but it will return soon enough and as said the Mickleover is not a priority for a spare and can cope with 5 buses. You gotta remember the priority for spares is V3 and comet due to the the only...
