The conversion of NK53 UNZ into a Go Read busis almost complete. I like how they've kept the blue arrow.

Based purely on an image seen on a poster, it appears 3643 is operating as a 'bus bar' for Newcastle Falcons and has had part of its top-deck opened up.
A quick look online confirms it has been in situ for a year.

Do you mean DD16GAS?  I've not seen that one around, although I'm aware that there's a few vehicles eluded me.

S828OFT, formerly 3828, is still alive and well, seen in the centre of Bristol on what I suspect was a scholars' service.

I really can't remember the plate on it, but it was definitely a Gas Bus demonstrator wearing the exact livery as the one that was up here, not sure if they have anymore floating around. It was sitting at the front of Temple Meads, looked like it was being used as a bait room more than anything though as it didn't have a ticket machine and the master switch was off. Was on Monday the 29th.

We've had 574 out for a run today, prior to MetroCentre Rally.

We're looking to add the yellow stripe in the coming week, refit the rear wheel arch trim once we've added the yellow stripe followed by adding the vinyls.

It would seem that Cumfybus has acquired at least one of the ex-Go North East Hybrid Solo SRs - 629 spotted on delivery.

They acquired all three - Sunderland Council sold them via CVA Auctions to Cumfybus towards the end of March.

I presume not for use, rather for parts for the existing examples in their fleet. The batteries are probably worth more than the bus - it's a hefty five-figure sum to renew the batteries and such on one of those Hybrid Solos, but the buses aren't worth that.
