3617 gone for scrap today.

Saw a new hybrid Gemini in the depot today, looks much better in the flesh and I'm guessing it will look even better once branding is applied.

Probably still 4493(?) which was there Thursday/Friday for definite last week.

Yeah its still 4493.

Yeah I saw it a few days back just didn't post and then again this morning, just inside the front of the depot.

Any news on whats in the paintshop at the moment?

Is runcorns 2532 still here it's been here for a while now!

I hsd a quick look before as there is thr 2 hybrid deckers from bolton there but got told that 4499 is gettin ready to go back to ireland as they are to make the final decission on wether it can be repaired or not.
There are about 4 enviro 400 all painted and ready for branding to be applied.
2532 i couldnt see but may possibally be in the secondry paint shop room that was to dark to see anything but it has been moved out the body shop.
Darts 7620,7622,2318,2316,2328,2320,2273,2274 are all parked up still awaiting disposal.
2407,2450, 2721 are still here along with 2814/16.
4102 i think it is is in the engine shop along with 2433.
Then there is still DLAS 4015,4059,4159 and the one with the all over college advert from wales.

4499 must be the shortest living bus if it gets scrapped lol! oops! Im sure First will be paying anyway but it must make Arriva sick, everytime they seem to launch or refurb new buses one or two end up in scraps within a few weeks! THeres been several Pulsars/Geminis/ALX400s/ALX300s all involved over the last few years!

Out of interest if Wright's do decide that 4499 is beyond repair what will replace it, will Wrights give Bolton Depot a new Hybdird to replace it
