Southport yard

Currently on one of Cumfy's new Fiat's on the 901, YX62 AYM it must actually be one of the first cumfy buses ive rode this year, complete with wood effect flooring, Christmas songs on the pa system, sadly the LED's aren't working though.

Southport and around the corner on Crowland St as well. Plenty of DAFs and Aleros

Interesting, I wonder if that's a swansong for the type? The tax on the remaining three ran out last night, and I was imagining they'd join their sisters on SORN. DVLA isn't yet showing any of them as relicensed, so if they are planning on keeping any of them in use then they've certainly left it till the last moment!

just want to bring these 2 posts back as i wonder whats happened to the mylenniums that have now ran out of tax

Stored out of use i would guess

All at Cumfy's Southport yard next door to Arriva on Canning Really

thanks for that, do we think they will get scraped or sold on? i have not seen what condition these buses are in now myself so am not sure

The Wirral depot is still open; Alero YP52 JWL and the Solo M710SEs are based there, along with a few other buses/minibuses.

With regards to the recently (and not-so-recently) withdrawn Myllenniums, I think I've finally got to the bottom of the identity mystery with C18 and C19 MFY.

On the lower section of the cab window, compare the positions of the small yellow and white stickers here and here, and likewise the position of the small yellow sticker here and here.

From which I deduce that the correct sequence of reregistrations is actually:

V1 GMT -> V475 HKY -> C18 MFY -> V475 HKY
V6 GMT -> V473 HKY -> C19 MFY

It's rather fortunate that Cumfybus didn't reregister them back to their V-plates all at once, otherwise this error would probably never have been picked up!
