53061 and 2 were both parked in the scrapline at Padmore Street yesterday morning at 07.30, and neither had ticket machines fitted, so I think it must be an error on Bustimes.
Just seen 53062 working past my house on the 15-25 route 37 back into Crowngate. Managed a very long shot which shows the route number and one nearer my house where camera didn't pick up the destination. If Bustimes is correct, and it is with 53062 then 53061 seems to be working over in Herefordshire!

Absolutely right Tim - both vehicles are back in service. Yesterday they were being Road tested and cleaned, ready for use today, which they appeared on Bustimes. I followed 53061 up The Butts this evening, and it looked “unloved”, with faded paint, and smoking more than usual. The reprieve is only temporary, until a replacement can be found.

Any suggestions to what they will be replaced with?
