Also now has Selwyns fleet name transfers.
Have the Technobus Pantheons been scrapped
Last I heard thr Tecnobus' where still In their depot, and where up for sale. All 6 of the ex Birkenhead Tecnobus U500EUKs exist so I guess all of these newer Pantheon U620EUKs will find a new home too!
Selwyns - DAF T9s 325STG, YJ04BYH, YJ04HHZ, YJ04BJZ are now in Selwyns livery. DAF T8s SEL702 and SEL73 are now in Selwyns livery
Noted today in a scrapyard in Birkenhead (Corporation Road) is 2 ex SMARTeco pantheons, one is 194, couldn't id the others. Its believed the other 4 had the same fate.
I hear Selwyns are due new Coach's for National Express, does anyone know when they are due to be delivered and when they enter Service?

Due late January/early February next year are 235-40 (BD65 JEJ/O/U/FA/E/F) Volvo B11R (Tri-axle) / Caetano Levantes for National Express services. Their receipt, plus return of 207 (FN62 CDY) from Yellow Buses around the same time, should displace Scania K340/Caetano Levantes 131/2 (FJ58 AJU/V), 139/40 (FJ59 APX/Y) and Volvo B9R / Caetano Levantes 186-8 (FJ60 EFU-W).
Six further B11R/Levantes are on order for delivery in April next year.
Info from Paul Riley
Thanks for that, When you say they are due Late January/Early Feb do you mean thats when they are due to be delivered or due to enter Service?

They will enter service shortly after being delivered after driver training.
Went for National Express 060 from Manchester at 10pm, The ramp then broke so the Coach Trip was cancelled, We was all then put on the 11pm 060 Service, Since this went via the Airport i missed my Bus home, after having a chat with someone at Liverpool Coach Station he rang someone who informed me to get a Taxi then National Express will refund the costs, Was glad to finally get home.
