Thanks.

Does anyone know if GNW 3301 has been moved elsewhere? It’s not been active since 17th July.

Thanks

Which stagecoach depot operates the 415? If it’s Oldham or Middleton and these are going full electric I wonder what they will use on that route or does that problematic bridge cause issues?

Does anyone know if the rescue locos are just taking the single lead unit or the coach from the 2nd unit that didn’t derail too?

Thanks.

Does anyone have a number of how many 150/2s have transferred to Newton Heath please?

Is GNW still operating out of Heywood? If so what services are run from there please?

Does anyone know if GNW has retired their Volvo B9TL fleet? Non have been active since the 15th with quite a few showing no use since the 10th. The 2 Volvo B5TL Gemini 3s are still active though on the V1 and V2 but I expect these will come off and go elsewhere where depending on GNW plans...

I find it odd that the B9s with guided wheels are still on the V1/V2 where as some of the BL5s which are Vantage spec have been displaced. Surely the B9s would go first!

My effort, I don’t have any fancy programs so had to try with ChatGPT. I like the front half of the body side on the GBR livery but I don’t like how it’s repeated along every carriage, so I tried to adopt an NSE style lower body stripe.

The ex Avanti sets have a lighter yellow end compared to the native XC sets.

I’m assuming XC will become GBR once the franchise ends, so I’m wondering why they are not painting them in the GBR livery while going through the refurb?

With GNW getting more electrics will they be phasing out the B9s? I guess they could be displaced by the 20/70 reg street decks.

Quite a few have been withdrawn so that could explain the gaps in the numbering. There are more missing numbers than you have put in your post!
