What’s left at Deepdale for scrap Ill appreciate it finding out since the Tridents are going for scrap
From the Lancashire bus changes it would appear they have lost the 75 to Blackpool, 2 (Clitheroe) and 112, 114, 337 and 347 to Holmeswood. and 3, 5, and weekday 25 to Pilkingtons.
Looks like Preston are selling the remaining B5LHs I’m assuming the PVR decrease is the reason why
I'd have thought they would be wanting to keep the Volvo B5LH double deckers, not sell them?

The batteries are too expensive, apparently £35k a pop so makes sense to get shut. Plus 4 new Streetdecks are due soon.

Seems to echo what a Laird Street driver told me about there’s apparently older B5 Hybrids are bad with batteries.
