2728 is better than 2730 but I do hope I know when they have their last days in service so I know when my last ever ride on them will be I like Darts myself but not as much as the B10s though and I already miss seeing lots of them here in St Helens even though 2730 is still going strong.

2728 has been withdrawn, was due to go in 2 weeks but died early so it is parked with 849 in the depot.

Just heard that 2728 has been withdrawn this afternoon that leaves just 2730 as the last B10 left in Service

I was in Chester earlier again waiting for 2728 again (three times in three weeks) trying to get my first ride on this. Again I was unsuccessful.
2730 is sounding a bit better, engine sounds sweeter but feels to me as a passenger as if engine braking is non existent. As mm has said its still a better ride than some Pulsars.

The cooling fan is getting loud af again but 2715 was the same and that was in service for quite a while so hopefully it's the same for 2730.

Heard that 2730 is out of service, the last of the B10's gone.

As reported in the St. Helens thread, all that remain are the trainers

RIP 2730, you were a god-tier bus.
