When a bus is named and subsequently withdrawn down the line, will the name transfer to a different vehicle, or is that it finished. Did 1834 get 4601's name? I  can't remember.
I guess this would be thought of by a few on here in the coming weeks when one in particular is definitely going. Also for your own bus Tony. You've had the honour given to you, but the geminis probably haven't got all that long left themselves.

I believe 4653s name was transferred down from another Gemini that was transferred to Coventry

1834 did indeed inherit 4601's name. As did 4780 when 4781 was withdrawn. Another instance - albeit not a withdrawal - was 6832 gaining the name off 4884.

I do think it varies by circumstance. Equally, there has been occasions where name plaques have not transferred onto other vehicles on withdrawal.

Unless my eyes were bugging, I think I saw a new UID PB electric with the namebadge of "Anthony Smith" in the distance.

When a long term employee gets some joy out of seeing their dead mothers name in the garage is pointless?
