According to Flickr user "mdw9121", former Stagecoach Sunderland MAN ALX300 22728 (T728 OEF) has been preserved. It's great to hear that at least one of them has been sold to something other than a bus breakers!

Does anyone know why Slatyford MAN ALX300 22480 (T480 BNL) has been listed for disposal, as I think that would be a likely candidate for preservation, due to apparently lots of money being spent on it over the years, as mentioned in this image.

Furthermore, no images have appeared yet of 33101 (R101 KRG) with is new owners - unless it is still in storage at Sunderland Depot...
