19195 had a bit of trouble in Newcastle earlier, I see! How the hell it happened, I don't know.

RE: Formal confirmation of the Preservation of 21037
They've been well know but I can reveal that 37 was formally preserved last Tuesday when the cheque cleared. I didn't report it simply because I was going to wait until the next fleet card was released. She is now owned by the Chairman of the 500 Group. As for her future, that is remaining secret

Preservation maybe Tony?

Didn't I just confirm that? I'm meaning her future within preservation - I'll being keeping that under wraps until she's ready (which will not be anytime soon)

You said her future remained a secret......so no, you did not confirm it, but now you have.

That could be a matter of opinion - 37 was effectively purchased by the chairman (the offer to purchase was made before he became the chairman) but it will be treated as part of the group's fleet.

I confirmed her purchase, and the future was reverting to the plans for the vehicle regarding her restoration etc. Does that give you a better understanding of my original post.

Aye, we've heard the stories about how it takes nine years to restore a bus...
Surely which livery it is going to be restored into is limited to two choices... Transit livery or Stagecoach Stripes. Given your reference to fleet number 37, I will go with the former.

Nine years? Now there's a story I'd like to hear.

I'm sure you'd be very attentive!

37 shouldn't take as long as 106 took nor the length of time expected once 544 is due to take when the group gets round to it (we have another project to do before that). The majority of the work required on 37 is cosmetic such as a full re-panel and cab area work.
Livery isn't the subject of discussion - when complete, 37 will be in Transit livery as it was when delivered nearly 22 years ago. The tag line of the 'Transit' fleetnames however is one that will not be know until 37 is ready.
That is broadly all I can discuss - the rest you can wait and see when she is ready in a few years time (hopefully).

Davie. Why not keep 34401 and send 34611 plus 22067&22070 away to find a new home. Regards Robin

Maybe 34401 isn't in a good condition?

No, Though buses transferred in from other depots could happen.
