Why are the VWDs coming off the 208? Is that due to their time on the route or is it based on loadings?


Well it is time for the 08's to leave that route , but I'd have moved VWD 9 and VWD 10 first as they have spent the most time there and are showing signs of strain , not serious yet but not advised to leave them there too much longer.
Capwell is expecting more deckers shortly so use of single decks on the 205 and 208 wont be for long , deckers will also be regular features on the 214 and I believe the 215 is being assessed for suitability for use of deckers there , no timescale for these deckers yet , "wont be long" is the answer I get so far.
