Bus 4641 was noted late this morning on suspended tow behind an RNW wrecker on its way from Southport depot on the A570 in Scarisbrick. I'd hazard a guess that it's probably off for heavy engineering somewhere or a refurb because it looked a little down at heel.

Also 2992 seems to have escaped the bullet because that was back in service on 44s yesterday after reports of it being transferred to Bangor as a spares source. It did have Welsh Government adverts on it so was probably there on loan.

2984 has now been sent to St Helens for scrap instead of transferring; was struggling en route to AY and it was decided there and then to let it go.

Wouldn't be surprised if st helens try put it on the road. There fleet isn't exactly the best and are short of allocations on days
