Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.

As as a result of the reduction in service due to Covid-19, all the MAN/Enviro300s, all the Scania/Enviro400s, all the Darts and all the Tridents are currently 'decommissioned' along with various Enviro200s, Enviro300s and some 105xx Enviro400MMCs.

If I can get a list or work out exactly what if off I'll post it here.

Yeah I don't think 47709-47714 (when they were Arriva 651-656) did very much until around 2008 so although the overall bus is just over 15 years old, all the mechanical parts pretty much are only about 12 years old.
