Regarding the withdrawal of 3825, I'm quite sad to hear this. When it was allocated to Chester-le-Street from November 2012 (when the Palatine 1 bodied Olympians were withdrawn) to roughly September or October 2013, I became quite attached to it. After 3821 and 3822 transferred to Stanley in early 2013, 3825 was allocated to my scholars (887) nearly every evening without fail. I have fond memories of that bus.
