Do you know what happened to 65037? (I believe it is Withdrawn)

Yes, showing on the group fleetlist this month as transferred from reserve to ELV (End of life vehicle)

New 101 livery as promised

Have these buses had a refurb also? You would think so after 14 years

Yes, new seat covers etc, quite nice inside

Thats good they really needed it. The Scanias on the Leek route look fantastic inside

Haven't been on one of those although they probably had a slightly less arduous life being Park & Ride buses in Chelmsford or Colchester (can't remember which) for a good while.

Yes it is in 32643, saw it yesterday on the 6 with the bustimes.org tracker showing as 32081

Once again, the First Potteries fleet has completely disappeared from the bustimes.org/vehicles tracking map. All vehicles, barring the odd anomaly, had been showing daily for the last few weeks or more but the map around Stoke has been blank since 3rd June.
Does anyone know why this is, and what (if anything) can be done to rectify the situation? This service is so useful for knowing when your bus is actually going to show up, especially if you're having to rely on bus travel in these current times for work etc.

Before it started working again, I contacted the person who runs the website asking about why Potteries wasn't showing. A few days later it worked again.
You can contact them by scrolling right to the bottom of the bustimes page and pressing contact.

Seems like 65037 found its way to Plaxton - it's on the right in the top photo here (13th July 2020):

Looks in a bad state (at least at the back with the paint wearing off)

Been this way for a year or so now. Hope it gets fixed soon cos it was one of the better ones within the batch
