You wont need binoculars at Gaw End Lane as there is a right of way right through the depot between the shed and parking hardstanding.

Secondly, five of the long serving Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer MPDs have been taken out of service;

857 (T527 AOB)
867 (X217 JOF)
869 (Y32 KON)
882 (Y42 TDA)
886 (Y46 TDA)

I understand most if not all had already departed by the end of today.

Anyone any idea where they are going to as a couple have only recently been MOT-ed I understand?

Wexham Depot i think - Replacing older Darts, AAIK 862 & 3 Have already gone

867 and 869 not there today at 17.00 but 858 and 877 were

Funnily enough, Bowers has just registered a service 1 and 14 in Macclesfield, so there might be a slightly lesser demand for the SR's soon!

Its a Cheshire East BC contract change.

The 1 and 14 are interworked and I think only has a PVR of 1
