I read Tony's recent First fleet update news on here the other day I noticed that this has been transferred to "reserve" but where are the reserve fleet kept and what exactly does reserve mean I'm assuming it means that they've got them if they require them for future use?

It's quite unique actually because this is now the only R-reg Pointer Dart that First Wyvern have I wonder how long it will stay with First now that it's been "semi-withdrawn" by them.

Withdrawn/reserve buses are usually stored at Worcester and I am pretty sure 40805 is parked up at the bottom of the garage along with a couple of Solos.

I think the Withdrawn Hereford Solo 50282 and the ex Staffs one 40007 have gone for scrap already.

40805 has now gone only the 2caetano darts remaining

if it has not already gone to the scrapyard , it will be going there sometime soon, it was only kept in use at Hereford

because 67600 which was due to replace it was to big for Hereford routes

Is 40805 staying at Adderley Green for long?
