Having said that the older Dart at AZ seems to be always breaking down. I've spotted it a few times over the last few weeks awaiting a tow.
solo 47001 has turned up at Wigan again though officially in reserve
I noticed 47001 on taxi duties in Ashton at lunch time today. I don't think it's ever left AZ as its a regular performer on Sunday 202's.
yes saw it back today must have been a loan to Wigan
19101 (Mr Noisy) broken down in Ashton today I think we can all get a bit more

74/75 in Salford are TfGM contracted services.

I'm not surprised. Travelled on it over weekend on the 237 and as well as being very noisey when accelerating it also really struggled power wise. Hopefully it will get the treatment and repairs it needs.

Sorry to disappoint you all, but 19101 was back on the 330 at about 5pm. I was unlucky enough to be a passenger on it. One despairs.

It probably moved to Wigan initially because Ashton no longer needed it as 47559 was supposedly back in use. Unfortunately that little plan went out of the window when 47559 broke down again, so until 47559 proves its reliability and capability for public service, 47001 shall remain in Ashton I presume.

Didn't know about that. Nothing serious I hope. Do you know which Solo it was?
