Sorry if this has been mentioned. Which accident damaged vehicles?

I assume 4041 was a Sept transfer to reserve, as it's not showing on any previous fleet changes

I presume 1926/4520

[Tony]

I presume 1926/4520

Correct

So we've now gained a Plaxton!

I found the one good feature that they have today. That being that keeping the close door button prevents the emergency exit button being pressed from outside. Came is handy on City Road/George Dixon School!

Other than that, terrible.

Our ALX400 B7s also do that. Quite funny watching people trying to let themselves out in traffic and failing miserably. And on both 16/101 I've had people try to let themselves on

@John The Tridents have it too, even the 32xx Scanias had it. As soon as they ask to get off anywhere other than a bus stop, my finger is on the close button in case they try it.
Also when a load of kids get off I keep my finger on the door OPEN button, as they try to be clever and shut the doors as they get off and the person behind looks at me in disgust like it's me who's done it!

When we had the Metrobuses, I had someone open the doors and get on at the lights at Navigation St / Hill St on the 61. Once the lights changed to green I crossed over the junction, pulled up and SWITCHED THE ENGINE OFF.

I'll stick my neck out again - and list, what I think is the vehicle totals at each garage at the current moment in time. That figure at AG seems a tad high unless some of those Presidents have entered storage. The 41xx Tridents at BC have been trimmed down (with 4218 back at YW) and I presume not all the 4763-75 batch are in service at CV. 4105 appears still to be allocated to Walsall? I've got 4368 at YW [not BC] - I may have been a bit hasty on that one it seems!

@paulb1973, you missed a garage, DE!

I think it should read something like this:

Slight correction there.

Sounds like 7129/7147/7157/7165 have gone, or withdrawn at the very least.
