Forgot to say, saw 4475 in Pensnett High St this morning on the back of a tow truck, heading off for its new life as coke cans..

Looking on bustimes I take it more vehicles have been withdrawn since yesterday.

Great thanks, its a bit tricky keeping tabs of which ones are or aren't!

So at a guess these will all be gone within the next couple of months.

Those left at YW will be replaced by new incoming electrics. While those at AG, WA and WB will go as the remainder of PBs electrics arrive.

It was scrap when it arrived WB, corrosion doesn't just occur overnight

Does that mean euro 6 tridents will stay for quite a few months/ a year at YW?

No. why would it when it is getting 54 new buses and Stu's comment clearly  states they will be replaced.

I assume the 50/35  will get the Milkfloats and the rest where ever needed on city routes, not sure what else YW operate into city, platinum's move down the pecking order
