Apparently, as odd as it sounds, it's been replaced by a withdrawn cadet from Bolton, 2527 rings a bell.

I imagine LS has more space to store withdrawn buses than Bolton as space is at a premium there especially with Vantage being there. 2527 was withdrawn apparently due to poor chassis condition.

2 more B7TLs have arrived, presumably on loan. 4109 and another I think 4112. The latter has been on 432/3/7s today.

Yes seen that on FB, knew 4200 was, looks like 4201 was saved direct from Barnsley.

Almost came in with a Unai Emery good ebening then, but that's off topic way too much.


Interesting, nice to see them saved. Always thought 4200 should've been preserved tbh.
