Noticed 6147 on the 50 yesterday appears to have a couple of damaged lower offside body panels. First one I've actually seen with any RTA damaged. Looked a little shabby so hopefully they'll sort it out soon.

News from Yardley Wood: "they're scrapping all of the plaxton presidents that run the 49 and also current buses that are based there now will not be there soon. They're transferring them to new garages in the west Midlands." Its what i've heard!

That's even news to the people who do the allocations!

Of course there is no date mentioned, so it will be correct at some point

Its a shame in a way as some are in much better cosmetic condition that the unrefurbished b7 alx. Though I can't speak from a mechanical perspective and I am rather fond of the b7 alx!

I seen that one on the 2/3 today too and personally I find it unusual, but I don't mention anything on the noteworthy section because it upsets certain members, and their egos come in to play and then they throw a b*tchfit and scream and shout it's not noteworthy. But yeah in my eyes it is lol.

They do appear every so often but I wouldn't really find it noteworthy. As for that explanation, I can not put it better myself.
