Arriva's MPDs - Garsty - 13/10/2012 19:42

With all the recent happenings, both scrappings and the forum going down etc, I have lost track of the status of some of the MPDs, so thought one central thread would be best for this.

Does anyone know the status of these?
801 - Scrapped?
802 - Aberystwyth?
803 - ?
804 – Wrexham?
805 - Scrapped
806 - Scrapped?
807 - Scrapped?
810 - Scrapped?
811 - Scrapped?
812 - Wrexham
813 - Wrexham
842 - Aberystwyth?

Thanks in advance!

Absolutely!
I can see a few of these having no longer than a few years left now, if that infact.

If that indeed. If all goes according to plan, they'll be out at the end of the year due to being on an S reg. Whether replacements will become available and that will happen though, remains to be seen.

The only S-SNB remaining with Arriva is 802 which is in a cannibalised state at Aber, 801/3/4-7 have been scrapped whilst 811-13 remain parked up at Wrexham, withdrawn from fleet though remain in a serviceable condition. 842 will most certainly remain operational from Aberystwyth or one of its associated outstations.

EDIT: Typo fleet number.

Thanks for the info.

Also does anyone know the whereabouts of 882?

On a side note did all the M880SLs which were based at Manchester get moved to Wythenshawe?

Only 669 and 670 ended up at Wythenshawe the rest went to Bolton so from Manchester the Wythenshawe fleet should now total 70 vehicles
