15747 sighted being towed out of Rock Ferry behind a RNW truck about 1550 today.....
Few notes from over the water this afternoon;
15741 in the Yard at RF in a bad state, looks like it’s had a front end crash?
15743 and 18372 are out on 41/42s.

These ex Kettering Scanias seem to be a bit of a disaster. Anyone got a list of the current status of the RF allocated vehicles?
It's very strange how hammered those Kettering Enviro400's were considering they're not even 8 years old right now! I think only six of the batch are actually running in service at the moment. The ones I've ridden on generally don't seem that bad although I think Gillmoss's older ex-South Coast batch from 2010 are in much better nick than these so don't quite get how they've ended up in this state with a fair few VOR and perhaps a odd one which might end up a scrapper?

Not sure if any others are in use at the moment but ones I've seen in service have been 15740, 15743, 15746, 15748 and 15749. I think one other has been a runner too.
15741 has never seen service and has been stripped of parts to get the others working, hence it looking in a bad way
Equally 15741 will probably be put back together when the parts it needs arrive I would have thought.

Bound to be I would think as it will have a high residual value having not fully depreciated. Probably costed over 15 years being a heavyweight decker.
Has to be doesn't it, not even 8 years old yet, so not quite mid life and given the cost of that vehicle as well.
