There was talk of the SWT drivers learning the routes out of Horsham last spring for leaf fall this year. Not that anything came of it. As far as I know swt driving and the alliance working to maintain the MPV's has been very successful in comparison to years previous.
Semi related.. There are a couple of 66s out on MPV Duties aswell today.. As someone spotted at Lewes.. Along with the 73s I saw At Brighton earlier.
I seen a pink SWT MPV at Guildford Tuesday ... Pink! No wonder they fall apart at the thought of being pink or threat of being painted pink!
What is the reason for this? I know they look ugly to me. If I was pink I think i'd just stay hidden in the sheds at Effingham junction!
