Not living on, but 4843 has now gone from Stagecarriage of Grangetown for scrap.
Is there a thread for something like this? If so, I'll post this there.

Hard to tell, registrations on all of them (I think) have changed.

R276 LGH is now living as a Party Bus in London. Saw it at King's Cross when I went for England v Scotland.

S823OFT, which has been working in Gloucester for a while, was involved in a collision earlier today with a car. Damage, as far as I could see, to the front end, light clusters hanging out.

508 living on - but perhaps not for much longer:

Amongst the plethora of ex-NE based buses I spied this week, was LUCY.
Apologies for the poor quality, rushed photo. Didn't have time to go and wait until it was leaving the bus station.

Did the latter half of the block (3890-3896) have black interior, compared to the blue of the current 3885-9 and the buses which were sold to Oxford?

Yeah - I think 3885-3890 got the blue interior after the rest had left.

This still had the black flooring. The blue flooring came about in 2006ish onwards off memory.
The seating was still the same, although it had a blue moquette, rather than the original.

Some sort of extractor/generator has been attached to the roof of the vehicle, towards the rear.

Ahh I loved Lucy! The absolute travesty that these got sent to Oxford and were replaced by Omnicities still rankles!

Sad to see such a great B10 in that state, Was immaculate when Washington had it on Loan from Percy Main a few years ago on 88s.
Going to bear a trip down there in mind next year however, Wouldn't mind catching up with a few of them again.

I hate seeing dirty buses, they look disgraceful IMO.
That was one of the two renowns in the 491's that I didn't ride. It's a shame that there is berely any with GNE now, the renowns are one of my favourites (except for 4900).

Aye, I'm the same.
Was one of the better ones, Had a quite loud ZF gearbox in it and had barely been touched inside since new.

(02 Sep 2016, 4:23 pm)Andreos1 wrote I didn't get to properly identify it (saw it from distance and when driving past) but there is a yellow X*** FBB Dart parked up in Saltburn by The Ship Inn.
It's been parked up in the same place for a while now.
The door has been replaced by a roller shutter door.
Guessing it is an ex-GNE vehicle
I have it on good authority that it is going to be a bar and will be an option for those not wanting to go in to the pub during the busy summer months.

Sold to ensign in October 2015, it looks like 3879 is not having a future anymore...
