Preston must be getting some new vehicles then, I can't see them being happy to get older vehicles longer term....

16714 should be at Barrow still, part of their reserve fleet. It was part of the Morecambe reserve fleet prior to Barrow.

That was a quick decision i would have thought that it might be a write off with possible chassis damage as there must have been a hell of a impact to take the whole roof off.

22269 is being converted to DDA compliance for school work I believe.

What 20910 is being converted to, I have no idea.

Passed one of the LL Mans yesterday adorned with a smart new branding for 30/31.

Someone on one of the Yahoo groups publishes monthly lists for Bluebird and Highland and the current month's averages are 7.7 for Highland and 6.7 for Bluebird, so well different from the above.

Which groups are those please?

Can't imagine 47249 will last much longer before its LEDs get swapped for Hanover ones...

Surely all the new 63 plated E400's that Ardrossan has just got should bring Western's average age down?

Also very surprised that East Scotland's average age isn't higher...Have they seen any of the wrecks in Perth??
