Yes and 508
532 suffered an electrical fire at WB in October 2003 and was scrapped.
4336 was BC's biggest F-up

Thanks for that. I knew it was quite early, but not sure where and how it was scrapped :)
4336 was a great bus when at YW, had a unique whistle that I've never heard on any other trident since :(
I remember 1628 had a minor fire at Pensnett on a busy 244 early this year

2942 Arson Attack while working 102A
2954 Arson attack while working 995
Metrobus 2930 (WA or PB) was gutted by fire I think - arson damage? 3027 left the fleet with fire damage around the same time (2000) but was repaired eventually.
2954, did it re enter service refurbed as an ordinary bus and have the orange interior panels repainted standard metrobus cream?
