Are they gonna be fixed or withdrawn? (The cadets), and which ones are off the road?

Well when i was out the other day only 2801 was out but i cant actually predict which ones it is as they're all pretty bad on reliability im just posting what ive been informed, 668 is just on loan so i'd presume they're being worked on however are due to be withdrawn anyway so anything could happen to them

Saturday 2801 was missing with 2802/2803 both working hard. From observations in the past 2801 seems to be missing the most of the trio. Still they have done a good job since arrival. Midlands still working three of the batch hard in the Hinckleybus operation.

I wouldn't be surprised if 668 ends up staying to Wrexham.

I have been reliably informed that when the Citys arrived at Wrexham 4402-4409 will remain in Wales whilst 4410/21/22 are set for Winsford and they're also not set to receive a repaint into Sapphire colours so no doubt they will go into the standard livery.

4403 was involved in an RTC yesterday and is in the body shop, 4407 also in body shop for repaint.

668 is currently being prepped for Service

668 is out and about today, nice to see an old liveried bus again.
