What a bus, deserves a good pat on the... errr, bonnet(???) for surviving this long. I sincerely hope preservation beckons for this one, first one of the batch and it's survived so long after it's sisters had gone to the scrappy!

After all this time and being the last one 7533 deserves preservation, but not everything can be preserved. We can only hope.

I agree 7533 deserves preservation and so does did 0801 now prob impossable and A ABA but like MPTE said unfortunatly you cant preserve everything
I see 2641 is back on X2 rather the DJC dart I had the other week

0801 is well gone I think, as MPTE rightly says you can't save everything! Would be a fitting end if 7533 went that way though!

Noticed 7533 out on the 10 in chester this afternoon

Yep, it is always on there, never used on anything else but it is reliable on that route, so why put it on anything else.
