Worth noting that Dennis MPD/Transbus Mini Pointer 542 (NA52 AXG) has now been withdrawn from service at Crook and is in storage at Saltmeadows Road.
Also - to make Michael's life easier - I have added 'DDA' to the bodywork section of the fleet lists to mark the now DDA-compliant Volvo B10BLEs.

The interior shot would have given the game away - it's 8250 (NA52 BVG) and 8251 (NA52 BVH).
