I take it you mean 527 and 528??? They shouldn't have had anything removed, they are sold.

Speaking of Gaw End Lane, did a canal walk from Macclesfield to Congleton today and when passing there on the canal (didn't detour to have a look at the depot, maybe next time), the two Dart's were clearly visible next to the canal, there were also a few preserved/old buses present, one being NAG124G, two others were a blue/yellow open topper and a Bristol/ECW coach....any idea of ID's anyone?

Ta!

Indeed. despite being laid-up since last September both 857 & 858 are very much intact and engines started regularly to keep batteries etc. charged-up.

Photo HERE

Any idea who has purchased them and how long until they depart?
Gemini 4491 I noticed had panel damage on the drivers side when walking into town any reasons why

Thanks for the reply and the photo, I will reveal where they are going when the paperwork goes through hopefully sometime next week.
3311, was back out yesterday on the 29/31/31A.
I say Back out as it was previously reported withdrawn, My guess is that it's covering for a poorly 4096 and 4056
