2974 is at telford at the moment probably because the temsas never seem to be out

Can anybody confirm whether 2997 is being stripped for parts or if its already gone for scrap please? Cheers
4709 YJ10 DHC never made it onto the road at Telford and 2974 replaced it, the other two have but not often seen.

As of yesterday, 3119 has been stripped of its remaining route branding for the Milton Keynes services 5 and 6 that was located within the advertisement frame on the offside.

If the timetables for the Derby area 20 and 26 services are correct on bus times, it looks like very minimal changes have been made to to running times. Despite route 20 serving Chad park road, max road, wood rd it still has the same 10 minutes to get to Roosevelt ave.
Timings look similar with just under an hour for a round trip, quite ambitious. Looks like the interworking with x38 and 26/4 will continue.
Also looks like the last trip on the 26 has been cut every day, last one now being 21.40 instead of 22:40.

Just when you think the fleet has hit rock bottom...
5 more parked up at Selby you can have as well if you want!
Judging by its registration, it looks to have been a Kent vehicle originally, so a second hand me down for Tamworth and another livery to add to the tally!
NFS was displayed on the windscreen but could have been a last minute decision to send it over instead of withdrawing it to replace E300 3581 which is now withdrawn alongside the 07 reg Pulsar 3735, both with chassis rot…
New to Southend in 2010 as 4072 for use at Grays. Moved to Arriva North East at durham depot in 2014 and renumbered 1321. Moved to Yorkshire Castleford depot in 2023 and renumbered 1068
May as well, it's pretty clear Tamworth has become the dumping ground of late!

That is good to know, if and when Derby has clear out.
Send some B9's over if you like!

I was thinking more Pulsars or Streetlites. Share the joy.
I think Streetlites are about the only thing Tamworth hasn't had yet!
Send the Pulsars though, they can see off the Max Citaros.

A friend was riding home on one, one day last week. Water was coming through the wheelarch . He ended up moving.
It could have bodywork damage for it to be doing that.
However now that you’ve mentioned that, a decent portion of the Tamworth fleet has been reported withdrawn in recent times from chassis rot or corrosion and that this issue could lead to one or both of those things.
What are we talking about here, Pulsars or Citaros?
I remember seeing daylight through the floor of an OmniLink before they were withdrawn.

Pulsars
That's unfortunate, they seem fairly tidy inside compared to the Citaros.
Tamworth had Streetlites 3301 & 3302 for the 110 in 2015..

Really? How long were they around, I don't remember that!
Couple of years went to Shires end of 2016

I was a regular on the 110 at one point.
That must have completely passed me by!
Thanks.
Couln't really be any worse than when it was diesel!
4600s reliability was questionable from new, spent more time at the Mercedes Dealership than in service at Derby, I will admit though it looked extremely smart in the original Sapphire livery.
