Noticed that 6722 had the name "Dave Lawrence" on the side in memory of Dapper.

I wonder if an electric bus will get the name of "Mick Byrne"? Whose name was on the sides of 4812 before it's departure.

This is something I've asked before - I know that NX don't have a standard naming policy, though given they renamed 1837 after 4601's demise for the late great Mark Gauden, do NX automatically transfer the names when they're withdrawn?
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

I think when the buses were first given these special name plates, it was said they would last the lifetime of the bus, but there has been a couple of occasions where the life of a bus has been shorter than expected, so they've had the names transferred to other vehicles.

It was 1834 they renamed and repainted into Walsall Corporation colours to replace 4601

I wonder if 4500's name will be transferred? As for 4651, she's the second bus to be called Steve Widdows.
