It means nothing if the sort. There's probably lots of buses at various garages that purely by chance avoid certain routes. If it hasn't been on the 12, and you've no proof it hasn't, then it's purely by chance

But why were those two specifically withdrawn, seeing as the other 20 or so are operating?

Because they obviously have issues that aren't worth spending money at their age, and the others will come off when they die...

Yes... that's literally what I'm trying to find out. I asked because I wanted to know what issue they had
