RE: Procters Group
Went to Proctors depot today and I asked permission to go in was given permission by Kevin proctor the owner of the whole company I had a good chat with him about the service vehicles. He said they are Tring to get rid of the two Enviros YX60DXY and T25svn but nobody wants them. Also he said that he wished he hadn't of bought The two Enviros YX14RZD and YX14RZC as they are having too many problems but only got them as they were cheap. Also when I talked to him about Mx62gug I was shocked when he told me it's on its 4th engine since new. He said they won't be buying anymore Streetlites again.
I also was talking to am Engineer at Proctors and I asked him about The evolution Ae60grx and he said that thing is having problems every few weeks and he told me that bus is a one of. Also they have ordered a 17 plate solo but isn't sure if it's going with Dales and District or within the Compass group.

Also MX55BXR is still apart of the Dales and District fleet but is in for a new engine refit. Kevin proctor told me the new engine will be in by Monday and it will be getting a repaint and then it should be back in service in the next 3-4 weeks.[Image: 2f094d2c5a769a13d86d44e7d7fd73d0.jpg][Image: ea9c2e3c088df9ca813f14735a7e0fd7.jpg][Image: 432e8fd9ab136a18ae5a90da09b90eb1.jpg][Image: 4db7c5672750c0fcd950f5ddac780045.jpg]

Yes I was quite surprised when I was told they were getting another new Service bus. Maybe a replacement for the two Enviros as I know that T25svn. I'm just happy they aren't getting any more Streetlites.

KJZ 13 may do 73s all day then do the last 72 of the day perhaps?

They must of changed how operations work, as KJZ 13, 149 CCY are supposed to be on 73 all day..

Ah right, I knew it had at least been withdrawn temporarily, but given its age thought it might have been something more permanent, so thanks for providing more info!

Having looked back, it seems NX10 CCA actually left the fleet at the same time as a lot of the old Leven Valley vehicles and D&D MPDs...
Specific Link Full Auction

There's no photos on flickr to show where it was sold to and according to VOSA it is currently SORN.

A quick Google Search shows that it was then sold again in 2016: Specific Link Similar Item

To me this suggests that initially the vehicle was sold to Williams Coaches of Brecon before being sold on again!

Well I was a bit shocked when I was told it's coming back, to be fair it will mostly only be used as spare, such as MW52PYY & MW52PZB are only spares now but seem to appear most days now. Also MX57CCF is also getting a New Engine Refit, should be a few Months before that comes back.
