33039 survived for a short while after the end of the Rail Contract mostly due to 32067 and 33404 both being off the road, but now both of those are fixed and back on the road 33039 has been de-licenced, SORN and withdrawn again.

That's a shame, - I was hoping it would be used for "Xmas shopper loadings" .

32067 back on R/R duty at Bromsgrove Station around 06.30 this morning.
Brrrrrrrrr. That is meant to represent the cold and frost , not the sound of 32067

It didn't last long. As I arrived at work c.08:30 it was heading through Worcester towards the depot with an Engineer at the wheel, and it broke down in front of me! When I finished work it was parked up with a "Vehicle Off Road" notice in the window and the reason given was "Engine Cutting Out"... Which is exactly what it did to me on Thursday on City Walls Road. And again on Bath Road. Twice. Didn't give it a chance to do it again as at that point I phoned in and got a replacement.

33401 also had problems on Rail when it had a collision with a metal gate. Thankfully nobody was sat in the upper deck so nobody was hurt and Mr WR1st is free to make his usual penetration innuendos...

Appropriate to this thread - and Adam's post above - is the question :-

Will 33039 get relicensed on Monday !?
