Are they all moving up north? (30850-2, 30854-61?) @Winston

30850/4/5/6 & 58-61 are down as 'Potential Transfers', so they will most likely be following the others.

Does anybody know why 32214 (SO65 LRZ) Is Withdrawn? It is also shown as SORN. I presume it has either been involved in a serious RTC or suffered severe engine failure/fire damage?

It's a write off after the argument with a truck

Ahh, I was not aware of this incident. Thank you Tony.

It happened in January 2018, so over 18 months ago.

Interesting, Tony, that 32214 (SO65 LRZ) is still on your fleet list. Does this mean there is still a possibility it will be re-instated?

Also, 20027 (YJ10 MFZ) Optare Solo in Signature livery, is on your fleet list. I had the impression it had left the company - am I mistaken?

32214 is still in store, it was in Church Rd, Redditch it has recently been moved to Tividale, John's Lane (opp main depot) with all the other scrappers.

None of the ex Signature buses have left the company, they were surplus to requirement when Signature switched to Landflight, they were only 'VOR' some have been repainted in new Diamond Livery with 20015 now back at Redditch for TfWM 69 tender etc.

Thank you for the clarification Winston.

On Tony's Fleet Changes for July 2019 - 30011 (YJ07 JJO) VDL/Plaxton Centro is shown as now withdrawn. I haven't seen this vehicle for many months. Does anyone know if it has been off the road for a while?

32214 was off site immediately after the incident in Stratford in January 2018. Off site as in not in Redditch.

I thought that one was buried inside Church Road?
