That was what I was getting at - spare vehicle due to driver shortage, not spare driver due to vehicle shortage.

Just on that subject, it's early days since the recent changes came in, but so far one of the blue Versas has been out on the 32/2 each day.

Cat MMCs 202, 204 and 207 are reported long term VOR with major issues. 202 was removed from the depot yesterday by a wrecker presumably heading somewhere for repairs. All 3 were as of yesterday morning parked at the front of the yard in the corner backing onto the Railway sidings.

Further to this 209 is also away at Bus & Coach World with severe front end accident damage.

Noticed one of the Blackpool Transport MMCs seems to be running CAT5 duties, while the two others get random duties.

EX21ONE Was on here yesterday too, caught me by surprise as normally you only get MP stuff in Altrincham on Rail Replacement.

Although, Altrincham was actually a place that saw an MP Travel vehicle very early on, when Howards loaned one their Darts and used it on the, now withdrawn, 289 route. At that point the vehicle still referenced a Hull address which made its appearance seem very bizarre.

I wonder whether the 48 Frodsham-Northwich transferring to Stagecoach from 3 Jan is down to WOB having issues or whether the contract WOB had was due to expire at the end of the year anyway.
