7513 replacement - N391OTY - 26 Mar 2023

My colleagues in the PSV Circle have reported a replacement 7513 in the form of LJ61 CHG, formerly Arriva London North T203, a classic Enviro 400. Presuming it is having the centre door removed before it comes north to Durham/Teesside.

Wonder if a replacement for 7508 is on the cards too. Can't remember if that was an accident victim as well, or just past its best !

This 'new' 7513 is indeed a replacement for 7508 after it was written off after hitting a low bridge. Believe it's currently being converted to single door. The new 7510 was of course the replacement for the initial 7513.

Right. I had always assumed that the new 7510 was a replacement for the original 7510 which went up in a sheet somewhere in Northumberland years ago. An easy mistake to make !

Didn't hear that 7508 hit a low bridge.
