Thanks reece

7569s at PVS Barnsley, saw it being dragged about as we arrived on Wed, looked like it had arrived just before us.

Was reliably informed that 7568 left immediately for scrapping on withdrawal a few weeks ago.

It seems quite a few of these have left for PVS very quickly after withdrawal and not all of them have been stripped to a great extent.

7558 withdrawn thanks to Roy on Arriva NW Yahoo group

Correct, was in Barnsley on my visit still pretty much intact!

Apart from its seat and a few cushions which have been saved for a preservation project!

The NWVRT doesn't half pull its weight!
