About time these 09 reg enviros go as they are totally wrecked. My money for replacements is on newer Enviro200s or MMCs.

If the tracking's to be believed 37 last operated a Macclesfield depot route on Saturday and seems to have been put out to cover for 4 on the 84X today. So possibly moved to Crewe ready for withdrawal but then got put out due to a fault on another bus?

Looks like 570 also developed a fault today, while 521, 6007 are showing as working services first thing, but then stopped tracking. If D&G have 4 vehicles failing each morning, I fear some of the withdrawn vehicles might not stay withdrawn for long!

I found it interesting 41 started the day on the 87/88 yesterday but was then swapped with 571 which started the day on the 3/10, so both vehicles remained out but switched routes.

I have seen 117 on the 88 today. It's much quieter than usual. I wonder if the air con system isn't working or if it's been deactivated?

I noticed some vehicles were appearing on the bus times list even though they hadn't tracked in months. I wonder if there's been some update, either with the D&G system or the data feed bus times uses?
