Yeah if you walk along side the depot on the main road you will see a big gap in the hedge just walk into the gap and as if your looking in it will be on your right, 841 that is one Dart i never will say i liked.

2556/7 will be on the road when there actually fixed and actually working, not very often you will see the things.

Nice to hear 2556 is back in use, I managed to capture a shot of 2425 on the 33 on Saturday.

As a side note, 841 has been sighted as stored at Chester (Harwarden) recently which will explain why I didn't see it when looking in my last log, I looked again Saturday it was defo not there, the only changes were 877 back in use and 2557 moved into the compound from the front fence.

Regards
Chris.

I dont think they will be coming straight here as they need to be fully refurbished first the MPD may go the other way though but the 5 Solos that we are getting are to be getting a high specification refurbishment and branding applied, ill try find out some more information myself

Yes well its not going to be a quick job is it to get them to the new specification, cant just be done at the click of a finger.
