Not sure if the fleet list is completely up to date yet, but just been looking through and was surprised to see some of the old R-COO and V-DNL Darts still listed on there as being withdrawn! Are these still officially on the fleet as I would have thought they'd have been scrapped long ago?

Ah great, thank you for taking the time to update it! Wow can't believe they've kept those withdrawn darts all this time. I suppose if they have the space in the yard at Darlington and Stockton it saves the expense of removing them, cause I doubt they'd get much for them for scrap!

Still quite odd to be honest!

So the story goes, they were never disposed of after withdrawal due to them having a high residual value left on the books. The intention was to wait until they had depreciated sufficiently before scrap, so they wouldn't make a loss on the disposal of the asset. That was years ago though!

They'd probably get between £1200 and £1500 in scrap value (less if they've removed major components) so it's odd that they wouldn't just send them off for scrap.

Arriva certainly seem happy to leave their elderly vehicles lying around for some time! In fact, I recall seeing quite a few Darts and Cadets at the back of Darlington a couple of years ago - is it likely that they're the same ones shown on Dan's list in the second post? Or did they move them between storage loactions?

Speaking of Solo's at Belmont does anybody know the current status of 2823 - YK08 ETZ? According to Bustimes it hasn't worked in service since 8 Feb (obviously there's every chance it has operated since then and just hasn't tracked) but was wondering if it was longterm VOR or had perhaps been withdrawn from service?
