Solo's going to Cymru
Heard today that the following are supposed to be getting transferred to first Cymru:
53042, 53058, 53059, 53060 and 53063 sure I have driven 53060 when I was at Worcester

Re: Solo's going to Cymru
The paperwork for the transfer was done weeks ago... Have they not arrived yet?

53063 was in service today with First Cymru - at Swansea Ravenhill's Llanelli sub-depot. No sign yet of the other four Solos that are transferring from First Potteries.

I believe only two have made the journey to Wales so far, and the others are still stored at Stoke.

53060 is now in service at First Cymru's Port Talbot depot.
Re: Solo's going to Cymru
53042 arrived at Worcester today. It looks like it will not be going to Wales as it is now going to be an engine donor for 53044, and then it will be scrapped.
Re: Solo's going to Cymru
Shame to scrap the first new Solo that went to Worcester as it drives really well, has the urban1 paint scheme and the interior is very smart. It would be better to retest it and scrap 53044

Interesting interloper amongst all the previously 100% Dart fleet currently based there.Barrie Gilbert wrote: ↑18:34 Saturday 21st January 201753058 has entered service at First Cymru's Haverfordwest depot.
No doubt these will find it easier to go round some of the narrow Pembrokeshire roads, but a disappointing reduction in seating capacity.
