32304 has already been repainted into Diamond North West base livery so will be transferred at some point. 32305 will leave after Dalesbus finishes I believe

Not many 37 allocations seemed to be double deck operated this afternoon, within an hour and a bit observed an ex First B7RLE, a Diamond 575 Branded B7RLE, a Citaro 33010 and ex Preston heap of junk 32301 which sounded absolutely knackered!

Very true lol, I would not want to suffer one of them for full route on there, poor driver!
