Presidents

[Solo1]

With the president's been withdrawn will we be having
a farewell day to them like they have with other bus types that have been withdrawn &scrapped

[GeminiFan1991]

Seems quite unlikely !

With the farewell day, they had a few types so I doubt they'd organize such a day for Plaxton Presidents which not everyone has a pleasant opinion.

I, myself thought they weren't that bad. It's probably just me and I know it sounds irrational but I prefer the Plaxtons with the original rectangular lights as opposed to those with the round lights.

I used to have a dislike towards President's, however I've got to say that in the past 6 months, my opinion has changed! I do love the President's as they're a bit smoother compared to some other types. I also did prefer the rectangular shaped headlights too.

Please don't tell me you're trying to compare the presidents and metrobuses

I don't think anything will be as good as the Metrobus!

[Trident 4194]

When will they all be withdrawn by?

They also had over a thousand Metrobuses.

Ten times the number of Presidents.

And the Metrobuses were the genuine last of a type in service, and the last step entrance double decks.

Plaxton & Alexander were under the same ownership, so although the body is a different shape the B7/ALX are the same chassis with a body from the same stable just a different shape and fitted with a slightly more modern engine

The Presidents are fantastic buses in most respects, definitely showing their age now. Unless the early Tridents go around the same time as the Presidents, I doubt they'll get a farewell. I know there's just been one but that was for a couple of bus types, not just one

Maybe not a farewell day, but perhaps on there last day in traffic have a couple on the 11 so that people can have one last decent ride on one?

I agree with you there very much @Sh4318 ! They are my favourite NXWM buses and it will be sad to see them go having grew up around them on the YW49 but they are showing there age now.

Went for a look in Miller Street today and there are some sad examples there.

[B.C Driver]

I liked them when we had them at BC.

Are they the fire damaged ones etc Phil or are they newly withdrawn ones?
