Looked like something may have failed on 31 this afternoon between Wharton and Winsford. 3360, a Centro and a fitter all at the side of the road. 3360 had 31 Crewe on the blinds, the Centro had the display switched off, but I wasn't able to tell which had failed.

Also I thought I saw R239 AEY was on the 37 this afternoon, but I see from the fleetlist it departed in October, so unless anyone else corroborates, I'll assume I was hallucinating and it was actually R236 AEY.

It was withdrawn in December...Got the information from the mechanic, Forgot to change the date on the fleetlist :p Funny to see it back out, We must be shorrt! The way to tell them apart is that 3346 Has LEDs and 9 had Dot Matrix

2616 Was indeed on the 84 longs yesterday, A Driver broke the ticket maching base plate in Chester on 2503, So it replaced that

3360 Breaking down isn't unusualy

Whichever Olympian it was, the destination display was virtually impossible to read.
