Also feel sorry if they're going on the Selby to York routes as they're shot to bits being on the X15/X18 for most their life.
7513 was withdrawn after a collision on the A1. Believe it had broken down and was waiting in a bus stop when a car collided with the back of it.
The original 7510 was the one that had a thermal incident, with the 'new' 7510 being 7513s (insurance?) replacement.
