Wouldn't be surprised if 4911, 4922 and 4923 are the next ones to go, Which will be a shame as all of the unrefurbished ones are in better condition in my opinion.
Also happy 4914 stalked me during the Easter holidays too, Had a unique thing about its gearbox and I loved riding it, Even if I did have it 4 days in a row!
I'm certain 4921 was withdrawn because of a mecheanical fault, rather than the vehicle having the old seating moquette?
