Yes.

Anyone know if 27723 is a loan or permanent transfer to Slatyford from Walkergate?

Edit: it appears 10485 has gone the other direction

Have the gas buses gone to heaven then or do we have them for another week. Such a waste if scrapped. Surely city transport or Northstar could rescue them instead of getting the crap from London

Dwindling down the past week but only companies that could take them on would have to have the facilities to top up with GNC or pay a hefty bill to convert them back to diesel.

Looks like theres 9 gas buses out today, according to bustimes.

28001-28003/6/7/9/10/13/14.

West Scotland 73222 SJ75 XOY in the new livery too, must admit it looks nice in the we’ve got you livery.

I was in Kilmarnock today to see the blue Yutongs including that one. Bus times shows 5 as in service but I additionally photographed 73225/28/30 that aren't on there yet so was at least 8 of them running.

It’s confirmed that 73053-73056 are permanent to Stockton now and rugby have gotten Slatyford’s 73191-73194 on a permanent basis as well so once the chargers are sorted at Slatyford they will get some more new ones. That means Glen Stockton have all 66 Yutong E12’s and the U11DD so they will not be getting anything else now for many years.

Ok mate

In theory Slatyford would only need 3 replacements in total to get the 18 that were planned, since they kept 73176.
