Apparently is left late afternoon not long after it entered the depot after completing driver route learning on the 231/216's. Ensign were apparently waiting to collect it.
It's been mentioned elsewhere but it seems very unusual for a bus to be out working, withdrawn and sold all in the space of a day lol. Although technically it hadn't carried fare paying passengers for at least 3 years I reckon it's still sad to see it go, but I'm told the fact only a couple of drivers could use it meant it's uses even as a ancillary vehicle were limited.
