(11 Apr 2017, 6:57 pm)EL1TE What's with 6136 being at Riverside this afternoon? Was in service earlier today...
I'd imagine it broke. This is what 6128 did when it broke with its oil leak. May be wrong though. The PSV/misc testing is done at deptford so it cant be that.

It could have also grown wings and flown there too, but lets not fill the forum full of speculation and wild guesses.

I left after I took that photo so I don't know what happened to it.

Talking of failed vehicles, 6086 failed outside Cardinal Hulme School this morning. It may still be there

Is it a similar colour to the Drifter brand?

Looks quite smart.

Wonder if all of the other 2011 versa's at Deptford will get done?


I can see 8306-8309 going in to Go North East

Looks similar, although I think the Drifter's blue is slightly darker.

I was rather confused when I saw it, but I do like the colour of it.

There was no other Versas there when I was there so they could all be done separately.

I hope its not getting branded Drifter for the 61..... 


Those 18 Streetlites for the 2/2A and 61? Tongue.... an increase for the 2/2A to every 20 minutes (10 combined)


2 - 5 PVR
2A - 6 PVR
61 - 5 PVR 

2 spares Tongue


Just speculation....

5234 it's been parked there for 2 possibly 3 days, 5238 has (according to gne) also made the move, expect the remaining 3 riverside based omnicities to move before the 21st may changes.

I don't think any speculation is really needed considering the 61 used to be part of the Drifter family.

Maybe not, but i just added it on because it is, saves people asking if its confirmed or not.

Suppose wibble is one of your five-a-day  Cool
I've never really been a fan of the Simplicity brand. Hopefully we'll see something new for the 2s - although Versas do look good in silver.....

I'm not keen on it myself but they've had worse brands.
