257 - Sutton

263 - Sutton
264 - Derby
265 - Derby

260 (a transfer from Langley Mill) and 255 are also on loan to Sutton to cover for 826 due to its fire.

All other excels are 'withdrawn', although some do still occasionally appear. They should all be gone by the end of the year, though that remains to be seen.

Centro 792 is expected to appear soon in unibus livery. 1184 is another Centro destined for Notts and Derby from TM Travel, it is expected to be in Notts and Derby livery.

Excel 249 has been sold to Grand Prix Coaches
Paladin 111 has been sold to Moving People
Mercedes 1138 has been sold to an Irish operator

With Trent Barton having so few Excels left, it seems that their successors in Buxton, High Peak, now have more Excels (for TransPeak) than Trent Barton still have.

True, although their numbers have diminished there also! I believe that there are three that are branded for Transpeak, 224, 231 and 232 as well as 233. A number of others have been scrapped (158, 225 and 226) and 227 has transfered to Centrebus' Leicester operation, although I have heard that it is on loan to Dove Holes at the moment. (Please note all numbers are Wellglade ones, goodness knows what their new ones are!)
