Both excellent to drive though, 962 being the better, quick off the mark and still work horses

14166 is still in Rock Ferry, I was told it had been bought off ensign, but clearly was wrong!

Are the XBU's DDA? if so they could be sold on to a smaller independent who could put these to good use, plus i would of thought selling Buses on would be more Profitable than Scrapping them

I like both 961 and 962 very much, really lovely ride on A41 or A5117 with out stopped straight through. I seem mostly out on Liverpool and Chester route sometime another route. Recently 961 on X8 route, I'm really missed to ride and wish ride on M53 to see what is like. Never mind.

A number of the ex first flolines where sold on after takeover. Think 4 or 5 went to connexions in York. The 2 darts where sold too.

No, but given their age I would imagine it's little more than a paperwork exercise to get them certified.

Im surprised it survived in that Open Golf wrap for so long after the tournament , I would have thought the R&A would have wanted it removing immediately after the event .

The R&A and Stagecoach do seem to have a good relationship though with each other as they seem to be the Park&Ride contractor for all the opens in recent times around the country.

They have it for the 2017 open in Birkdale as well.
