The engine has expired on the Spectra in a big way. The DLA has been purchased to donate its engine (and it's X441 not 438, that's the one at Arriva Burton!) but will run it in the short term. So don't worry, it's in good hands. Shows as a warning that the purchase price of a bus for preservation is most certainly the cheap part!

71 and 72 both withdrawn for scrap.

James

X436 FGP is the Arriva Burton one.

What's the fate of K212LHA?

James

Likely to be sold after 31 December.

Intend to run it on X12 on the 31 December though.

So is EX NX 4002 To be used again or is it withdrawn

Well, if you have read the other replies then you would know the answer to your question. James has already said he's waiting for the donor engine...

Is the Falcon definitely coming out to play on Thursday? Cheers

James

Afraid not, it's decided it didn't want to last until the deadline :(

Was that the last Gardner engined single decker bus in normal service?  :(

James

Possibly. Wasn't exactly in normal service though. It did do 2 hours on the Lichfield local services a few weeks back when there was a problem with the Enviro. That will have been the last thing it did.

TOJ lives though and has just had a partial engine rebuild so will still be out on occasions next year.

Enviro 200's 1 and 2 are on the Tame Bridge Parkway-Rugeley Trent Valley Rail Replacement today.
