6988 only in service though just a smidgen over 4 years.  Pretty appalling, given that the service life of a bus is 12 years and the fleets of the likes of Stagecoach and First spend most of their time out of doors. with few of their new depots having undercover storage.

6988 is the one with heavy fire damage.

I've reported the person who removed it to Bustimes on the basis of it being 'possibly withdrawn' Hopefully they will stop that person editing.

Zenobe currently supply NXWM 159 vehicles. It's up to Zenobe which 159 as long as they meet the service requirement

thanks for reply Tony, I wondered if there were problems with the 3 selected, or maybe some other reason such as taking 3 back that had done certain time in service/mileage for research and development purposes maybe
