It was parked out in Stockton yard on Friday morning after they’ve rebuilt it.

Interesting didn’t think it would ever be seen again. Guessing it’ll go for MOT and another repaint and Sunderland before going back to Slatyford.

Christ if only there was 65 more of them…. Oh wait there is. You’re going on about it like it’s the only one Stockton have. Like the person told you the last time it’s waiting for the police to release it from their investigations then it’ll go to be repaired. It can take time. 27822 only came back out the other day and that crashed in February 2025 over a year ago.
Anyone know if the scania gas buses at wheatsheaf depot have finally been scrapped?

Bustimes are reporting them as 28009 last tracked on the 24th February, with both 28013 and 28015 last tracked on the 25th February?

Sad to see them go.

I think they've been withdrawn. 009 is round the back, assume the other two are too. Might be being kept as an absolute last resort but they were pretty desparate this morning and none got sent out.
