Do you know what museum? I know everyone hates Temsa Avenues, but I really liked them. Preserved as just a static display, or as it's apparently getting a new gearbox, will it actually be doing heritage rides? Keeping the Arriva livery or not?

Thanks.

Sorry I don't know, I just found this info on Bustimes, a staff member at Tamworth put this info up on there.

No worries, thanks anyway. Hopefully it's true, and if so hopefully more information will be released about it.

That's awesome 2BH. Yes the Avenues were not everbodies favourite ride,  especially if you had the pleasure of one from Middlesbrough to Scarborough on an X93!! They were never intended for that sort of work were they?

And then they were flogged mercilessly by Arriva weren't they and probably,  gotta be careful here, poorly maintained.

So it's good to see that 4718 is going to live on, hopefully see some heritage work and not end up as a chicken shed or worse.
