Afraid not, I only seen it on facebook with the person reporting saying 6 vehicles have gone to ensign including 33854. All supposed to be darts and three broke down on the way. That really is that.

Sorry, typo, 33864 even.

Would be interesting to see which depot would run the 348/350 (most likely Ashton) and which type of vehicles would be allocated

I would think it will be Ashton along with the other Ashton gains.
The interesting ones will be the 343 and the Sunday 407. Not sure if they will go to Middleton or Ashton.

406/407 is Middleton
343/350 is Ashton
408 is Ashton
412 - not sure but mid would make more sense

I assumed Ashton might operate the 407 due to the fact they operate the 183 but it does make more sense for Middleton to do it.

412 is also Middleton; been confirmed today
