Even though it is being held in reserve, 22190's tax has been renewed for another year. I wonder whether this vehicle, along with 22675, could be joining 22735 as an active reserve, or as rumoured could be converted into a Driver Trainer. We'll just have to wait an see.
You can get refunds on tax so I wouldn't use this as a basis for withdrawal. Better to concentrate on the MOT dates, as this will be used - when buses are out of MOT then they're unlikely to re-test them when others are available. Of course some will be staying until next year so they're likely to keep the best condition ones out of the whole fleet and concentrate them at Stockton (as it appears they will be the only ones left with non-DDA MAN's this year).
