Have all the buses at the back of Green Lane departed now? Certainly stripped them well various parts from 7613/6 evident on other buses! (namely an Interurban battery panel on 7671)

4059 dont look like it will be going back on the road.
RE: Arriva North west and Wales disposal/ reserve feed - T42 PVM - 12/01/2013 11:31

BBB, I was adding to your list of what you had missed off. Seeing as the Paladins and 7563 were on the list you had instigated the thread with, there was no need for me to duplicate that. As you asked at the end of your post what was missing from the list, I provided a list of what I knew was missing as asked in your original post.

Really cannot see them spending any money on vehicles of this age now, the withdrawal of similarly aged vehicles when any defect arises shows the company are not willing to spend money on vehciles that would otherwise be due for replacement. 7622 may go against this recent trend, however.

I'm personally in agreement with you there MM, the elements have been allowed to take their toll on this example it would appear internally. This has been a long standing defective vehicle since Liverline days, from where it was last stored.

3327 is still on the books as for service K101 even if it is a mess.A mutual freind of ours was asking about it

Aye, was to signify that somehow in that list. It won't be disappearing any time soon, but as BBB asked for gaps in his information on what was parked up out of use it fell into that category.
