Nothing. It's un-required since the 6 stopped serving Shavington and Leighton Hospital.
Does anybody know whether the VLWs for Winsford will be delayed along with the Southport examples?

Oh right it was still on the 6 when I was up on 14/01/14 so i presume the 6 & 8 now interwork using the one solo?
it says above (or on the previous page) that they're sat in Bootle waiting delivery, But are 4215 and 4216 not in use on rails?

Is that in reply to my post? If so, both are in use on rails as with the Southport examples which are reported to now be delayed in their delivery (following rail use) for operational reasons. I've heard nothing as to whether the same applies for the Winsford examples though.

4215 and 16 are the Winsford ones, and i've been told they will arrive on Sunday, I'm not sure on when the rails end, But I expect a delay entry!
When they eventually arrive how long until they're likely to enter service?
4061,4074 and 4078 are being withdrawn very shortly when their MOT's expire. We are one DD short at Winsford so four vehicles are coming down from Bootle on Sunday. 4215,4216 and two DB250'S one of which I think is 4026. I think it likely that some will appear in service as early as Monday. The two DB250's are only short term replacements.
4012,4050,4056 and 4099 are on the scrap line at Winsford.
I have also been informed that later in the year that some B7's are coming from Southport and that some deckers are being sort to replace the cadets on the 84.
3615 surley can last much longer in service
You say that despite it only being allowed on one duty in the week and weekend?
