They don't.

Because of the large amount of new vehicles over the last 5 years withdrawals have overtaken depreciation. Any bus numbered above 4260 has a lump of value still attached to it which is more than it would get if sold, hence why only seriously damaged buses above this have been sold.

4148; 4176; 4177 & 4185 are being kept in case they are needed for reinstatement, all other withdrawn double decks below 4260 will be leaving soon.

Thanks, everyone, for this. But why 4260, in the middle of a batch?

You need to find an accountant to answer that!

I have never got a proper answer

Thanks Tony!

The fleet has changed massively since Martin's day and probably easier back then to keep tabs - you're doing a grand job!!!!

I'm not but I'm hazarding a guess - 18 yr book life currently = 10/01 (is that around 4260)? Unless damaged beyond economical repair. Presumably the parts yielded whilst in storage enable more to be fit out of other vehicles. However there must be a notional (or rented) value of the land they are stood on to be taken into account in the calculation.

All of 4225-4304 were delivered over a short time, but for some reason 4260 upwards have different accounting procedures applied.
