Think of what orders have been placed this year, absolutely nothing apart from a few down south if I remember rightly but have since been cancelled. If there’s no order to replace older stock or replace cascades, then nothing will get withdrawn unless damage structurally or mechanicaly is financially unviable.
That’s because of DB being reluctant to invest with Brexit I think am I right I’m thinking that the withdrawal age has been increased from 15 years old
Anyone know if 4212 is still at Bootle ? Does it ever get used

It's still here but doesn't seem to be used at the moment. We've been short of buses this week, yet it still hasn't been used (although it's retained its Wayfarer).
Centro 2608 is on the 52s today.
2516 is here, in 345 today.

Been here a few weeks now as I was the first to mention it
2629 is in use here (on rails today apparently).
2609 is being used for training only.
2494, 2495, 2498 and 2608 seem to have left.
4170 is still in use. It did a late on the 62 tonight (through driver preference...
)
4212 remains not for service (possibly for rails, although I haven't seen it used for a while)
Nice mix on the 52 this morning, 2609 & 2516 following each other.
Both VDL SB120s were on lates tonight. I took 2609 on my 62, while 2516 was on the 55.
