5333-36 are the best condition of the remaining non-refurbs ( bar the 63 plates ) still remaining in service, And are acceptable internally. Id say these will be last of the queue if they are to get refurbed In the future.
This can clear up the speculation of the Angel B5LH's ever cascading down to the 27 once displaced, Another candidate ive heard is the Coaster 1, Which could displace the Omnicity's to corporate roles?....
Will personally miss 5328-30 off the Crusader if they leave, Always hope for one of them three when I'm heading home on there.
Apart from the peeling paint, the one I mentioned also has a big fist sized dint in its skin. Top right hand corner if looking at the rear.
