PERIOD 10 (wk commencing 07th January 2017)
B10M 20554 was sold for scrap to Alpha Recovery with MAN 22076 taking it's place at Walkergate as their training vehicle, it has been repainted but I believe it still needs some pre-training work done to it. Doesn't look like it's moved since it came back from repaint the times I've gone past, so assume its still not ready. 17647 and 22014 sold for scrap to Alpha Recovery. 54045 is on NE disposals.

Also, upcoming soon is another decker and saloon swap between Walkergate and Slatyford - a second 18 board will be turning to DD operation. (so 1 MAN, 2 Enviro400).

Have passenger numbers increased recently on the 18 to warrant deckers or is there some other operational reason behind the change?
