I'd expect from new buses coming in the forthcoming months that the following would be withdrawn:
Volvo B7TL Wright Gemini 3941-43/3962-65: Hopefully some go into Preservation, I do think a donation of at least x2 of them to Beamish Museum would be ideal for there vintage bus services as I think they need them to help the those with disabilities navigate around the Museum as I seen a lot of people struggling when I was there a few weeks back, I'd also add 8319 in the donation list when that gets withdrawn.
Also withdrawn would be Volvo B9TL Wright Gemini 6177-79-6196 and Dennis Trident Enviro 400/Olympus' - 6944-66 /6970-76.
