Is 4689 going to be written off? One of the drivers told me it was, I hope it isn't true :(

It's been there for nearly a month now, since I first saw it hiding in one of the engineering bays (or it might have been another 8 branded Enviro400 I saw back then)

Saw mechanic driving off in 1656 with red stickers on cab screen and adverts ripped off. Probably the end!!

Surely they won't withdraw anymore buses at the moment with the amount of buses they have off the road!? There is already a vehicle shortage!

You're right Lauren they haven't withdrawn anymore buses as 1656 is on the 1 today.

There were 13 Mercs in use this morning on the following routes
1-1656,
2-1659,1572, 1703
5-1594,1678,1591,1634,1568,
7-1610,1635,
18/A-1579,1563

Anyone know if 1548 will still in normal service on Friday? Would like my first trip on a CV Merc to be on the last in the old livery

Do you know if 1550/1564 have been withdrawn too? - there has been mention of these two stored outside CV.

JoNi

Thanks Tony,
ARE 2 901 will have to be content with 4404 on 6/A

I was informed yesterday a bendibus parked at the rear of Wheatley St depot has a red ticket pasted on windowscreen....Does that mean withdrawn? And where is 1548?

All buses 'not fit for service' have the red ticket on the windscreen to make sure they don't go out in error.

1548 moved to Miller Street a couple of days after withdrawal
