Going back though the post's seems we have lost 547... will we loose any other MPD's?
Hopefully the SPD are removed from the fleet allocation tomorrow from Deptford.
Only a week untill changes =)
Wishful thinking! Deptford have standards! Can't be giving them unreliable Omnis!
I understand the only MPD which will move from Deptford is 547. This has happened to allow service 27X and 40A to be operated with a 'red spare' vehicle, and of course so that Peterlee can gain another yellow MPD (564). Less pressure on Deptford if Peterlee have two spares.
Remember, 8227/31/32 are currently in use at Stanley depot having been transferred to alleviate shortages at this depot. 8224 also saw brief use at Peterlee for the same reason but is now back at Deptford depot, presumably withdrawn. Same story for 4911 at Winlaton, has since returned to Percy Main.
8231 was out in service yesterday, as can be seen here.
On another note - MPDs 504, 505, 514 and 517 have been sold to Ensign Bus. A photo of 505 can be seen here.
