What source told you that the fairbrothers examples had been sold?

A fella at fairbrothers - theyre being replaced with tridents because they 'look more modern and are easy axcess' - makes sense really!

Very interesting. From the looks of things they are still really really quiet.....not sure how they are making the money.

thats funny as i was talking to fairbrothers on their facebook only a few weeks ago and it was said on there that the tridents coming are to replace the unreliable B6's they recently bought

3317 is still in service at Bolton although only for schools.

Cheers for that, was under that had gone to Ellie Rose like the rest of the Bolton Palatines.

3322 is neighbouring 3335 at Ripley's awaiting the chop.

Cheers mate, will update the list as soon as I get the chance

I just said what i was told, i did say it wasnt 100% certain either.. In this industry its always a case of wait and see.

Also it seems 3303 (N303 CLV, now VIL8681) at Blakewater coaches has been sold- (rumoured to be scrapped), however mentioned as a possible preservation candidate. Im not 100% sure, but either way its not with Blakewater anymore.

It - like 3291 - also has a PG9 attatched to it regarding a poor seat belt fitting.
