2401 - donated to fire service
2402 - to be replaced (by 2411?) and scrapped
2403 - scrap corner

All of the scrapline marshalls have begun canibalisation over the past month resale of buses lately is limited as they're worth more in scrap thanks to TFL age limits.

Just a quick question with the reference to 'scrapline Marshalls', which ones? 7612 and 7614 departed to long-term storage at Wrexham intact (albeit minus the LED from 7612 at least). 7613 is being comprehensively stripped however, though which are the others you're referring to? The Marshall's still have book value, otherwise they would have made an immediate departure from the fleet for scrap after the impending cannibalisation for parts. 7612 and 7614, at this moment in time, are worth too much to the company to be cleared for scrap.

7612 and 7613
Parts from 7612 and 7613 were used on GL Marshalls whilst it was in the rear corner. I think something off the front of 7612 was used on another marshall, possibly the lower front Pannel.

They do have book value, but not much service re-sale value. Simular marshall 7601 was being sold by Stafford Bus Centre for 10K and has scince dropped to 6K and is still not selling! (Bit cheeky when there selling newer london ones for 4.5K)

7616 may be in scrap corner too
