Will 19194/6/7/647 be replacing the non-DDA reserve MAN ALX300s, or will they eventually be replacing some, if not all, of Walkergate's 55-plate MAN ALX300s? They will only need one more ADL E400 to make Walkergate a fully Double Decker depot (excluding reserve vehicles) if 22341-5 are getting replaced.

There is at least 1 of the 3 examples delivered without branding still awaiting branding. There are 2 'Dotty' examples in the main shed along with this example however I expect these to be 27249/50.
27168/77 and a 'Zone Out' E300 are all off today - 27168/77 have just passed along Portrack Lane returning to the depot off a test run (both being driven by Fitters) while the 'Zone Out' is over the pits
22475 is now parked in the dead row, other examples are to be confirmed (will pop along later in the day or tomorrow)
