Hmm, things could get a bit messy in more ways than one - apart from the uncertainty over Tender commitments, which will only be resolved over the weekend at the earliest, there have been two further developments.
Firstly, E400, 10014 turned up at Hyde Road yesterday and was apparently seen with destinations set for service 205 - which just happens to pass the end of my road (lol).
Secondly, and more negatively, Hyde Road's MMC 10487 ran into he back of hybrid 12207 opposite TFGM HQ this morning injuring 15 people, and notwithstanding the police investigation. 10487 looks likely to be VOR for some time having received extensive front end damage. OTOH, Universities break up a fortnight on Friday, so that should create a bit of spare capacity. Maybe 18148 could be re-instated pro-tem (lol).
