36963 and 39709 also are/have been on too. Understand 27730 is still under repair at Chichester, 27731 was too until a few days ago.

What is wrong with 27730 and what was wrong with 27731?

39717 is also on the E's today - which looks as if it has recently been repainted.

I think It was repainted not long before leaving South Shields. The latest repaint at Sunderland was 39714

Would assume just mechanical woes/waiting on parts which resulted in them not being ready for transfer.

I assume this is covering for 36479? There is a photo of it on Flickr alongside 27730 with a missing bumper.

This one seems to be the most unreliable ADL E300 at the moment - having had at least three lengthy periods VOR in the past year or two.

Before it first broke it had what sounded like a rattily cooling fan. It was fixed and later broke again, and I wonder what is up with it now.

There is a photo on Facebook of 27729 on the 16 as well.

An "E's" branded ADL E300 was also spotted on service 4 recently (unsure what day).

It would be nice to regularly have the odd Gas Bus on the E's instead of a mixture of E200s.

Looks like 19437 is on the X34, presumably the summer transfer for the additional PVR on the E services?

Indeed it is, surprised they still sent one.
