Probably, still waiting for the Alpha Recovery Scrap Wagon to collect it, which I believe is where the rest ended up.

(22 May 2015, 11:22 am)Martin Rogers wrote The 33xxx ALX200s, have a clear history of Chassis Decay, so a Scrapyard somewhere, should be the best place for ALL such vehicles. Why on earth, would you wish to Preserve glorified rust ?.

They have only just started to put photos in now so surprised they running competition again. Don't believe everything the gazette says.

So its not all bad for the areas they serve.

(25 May 2015, 8:32 pm)Dan wrote Service 12 doesn't operate on Sundays, though, and this will inevitably put more strain on service 13 (City Centre - Sainsbury's).

Of course, anyone on Vicarage Farm Est relies on Go North East's service 2, unless they fancy a canny walk to catch the 13.
