Are there more due? Seems a odd move

Rumoured elsewhere the entire batch is to move across from Yorkshire - the best examples will see service while the worst will be used for spares to keep the others going.

Seems they're being replaced by a batch of E400MMC's at Belle Isle over in Yorkshire....and the B5LH's are seemingly mostly for the same fate as the ex First B5LH's that came to Laird Street, spares such as batteries etc

Not to be that guy, but 6027 is Green Lane based, not Laird Street based..

With it not showing up on Bustimes, I wrongly assumed it was with the others at Laird Street
