Are they not going to keep some DLAs for Rail Replacement work?

There will be enough double deckers to cover rail replacements in the form of the two Enviro400s and six Eclipse Geminis that are staying. On Sundays, I expect rail replacements will be largely covered by hybrids.
Enviro 400 (think its 4422) is on the 2 today.
886 on the 492s today.
2443 and 2551 unusually on the 487s, this has been pulsar operated for the past week and a half, they cant seem to make their minds up!

It's been present for sometime having arrived from Wrexham where it was stored. It's also been noted out in service previously, see below:-

4025 hasnt really seen service since it arrived other than that 1 previously reported trip - it has been off the road for quite some time, it was over the pits on Saturday night! Mechanics have said theyre not worth fixing for the short time theyre staying here, theyve said they have so much wrong with them and so many bodge jobs, the amount it would cost to repair each one isnt worth paying for the short time we have them!

Well, they must be doing something right to it as it's been reported in service twice in one week (firstly by myself).

Well obviously they have no choice but to fix it as it is needed in service.. if they left it off the road like they wanted to there would be no point having it here at all! Id imagine theyve used parts off that scrap DLA at the back to make 4025 roadworthy rather than spend anything on it. Either that or bodge it up like its former depots did..
Theyve had nothing but trouble with the loaned DLAs since they arrived so theyre trying their best to keep them in as theyre proving more unreliable than the 3 presidents. Speaking of which, 4002 was over the pits last night.
So the mass movement of vehicles round the depots will start this coming weekend when the Hybrid's become available for service .
