How many deckers are actually left here now aftert these clear outs to Blackpool, I am guessing not many???

Of these 3 DB250s could be considered stored, as are out of use on Banks Circus dead patch with out ticket machines (these are 56, 57, 79), certainly 56 and 79 have no ticket equipment from what I can tell. Certainly 3 of that batch remain fully serviceable and carry ticket equipment (55,76,77).
Of the Tridents 12-15 are schools only, 15 definately does carry ticket equipment and has been in service. 13 has definately had its removed, but cannot say for 12 or 14.

Current situation with the 2002 DAFs and 2004 Tridents (on Friday)
DAFs, 56/57/79 in Banks Circus Workshops
80 remains behind bus wash
Both 76 and 77 in service, no signs of 55, possibly in Ramsey.
Tridents 11 and 16 in service, 15 on Banks Circus service line but not in use. 13 out of service used as staff bus. Either 12/14 outside works, can't remember which, no signs of the other.
I've heard that DAF 55 FMN-497-T has recently had new moquette fitted
