These were to replace the deckers that were withdrawn

thought they were struggling. 1 bus gone in flames 3 buses with turbos gone ????????????.

Doubt Bangor can hand out anymore

With the Rail Replacements ending it is freeing up some Cadets to go elsewhere.

I suppose when other buses are fixed mmore will go.

Think winsford are the recipients of some ex bangor cadets. Think it's due to their being some issues with the centros.

Namely 2613 barbequing itself lately & 2608/2614 having left.

2608 and 2614 left a while ago and do not need replacing, Bangor still have some 04 Plate Cadets in use so i expect them to go in the near future

Best out the cadets are the 04 reg ones.
if bangor had there way it would be 2570,71,73

Seems to be that winsford get the oldest vehicles that have been replaced by newer buses so get cascaded onto them. Does seem to be that certain depots get older buses cascaded to them then a short while after arriving they get scrapped.

It's all about profit, most profitable get the newest vehicles,. Least get cascaded ones.

Same applies with other operators to a certain extent.

Explains why winsford end up with all the old cast offs.
