had an interesting chat on the 346 last night with the pennine driver( guy who always has the original red jumper mic you know who i mean) he says since ive been away the ten is now to become 18 deckers
these are to displace our arrows,40312,50280 and aload of the r-sba darts
they are keeping the 40324-7 batch and half the darts (the better half i hope) and this. apparently this happened in a meeting the other day with fm bosses
plus approx ten of the 18 will be overground branded for 348/350. and 350 will be decker operated on all journeys even to oldham and at night too
plus when these are all here the half hour break at oldham currently on 350`s will go at the october change as the buses will be more reliable so wont need time to cool down as they often need to take water at ashton or overheat after they come off the oldham run. any queries mic can inbox me

i will keep a lookout for this driver not sure i have seen him
