Former CT Plus E200MMC YX71 OJK is here, I saw it on the 898 this morning.

YX18 KVS has been removed from the fleet list, I assume it has finally been returned to Plaxton?
By any chance is LT SN04 LFT still in use? I haven't seen it on the road for a period of time now.
Been out of use since it rear ended YJ12PLX in Belle Vale some time ago.

My bad, i meant WU04 JYT, not LFT.
YD63 VCA was observed broken down on Fir Tree Drive South earlier today.

WU04 JYT has a new V5C and on the MOT it comes up as a Volkswagen LT instead of a 'Driveline Ltd KV176 Kusters' - So I'm assuming this LT has now left the fleet.
It has been sold to one of the instructors and is being converted into a camper I believe.
I’ve noticed both PPN and AUM are still being used on tenders dispite being over the age limit are these exempt?
I doubt it, HTL run close to the wire when it comes to required buses so they will be needed while there are so many long term VORs.

That doesn't surprise me how much will the PVR increase with the upcoming changes to tenders?
Not sure exactly but the 17 going to hourly will require an extra bus, the 152 will require an extra bus and the 33/35 will be a like for like with the 38A going. Even with two additional buses it won't be easy. I had heard another MMC may arrive but who knows - I know they were working on DYO/P for getting them back.
