4333/4348 have been removed from BT by Tony Hunter so I can only presume these are now withdrawn I will await confirmation though.

That only leaves 4334 now as the last double decker from 2002 and I don't think that will have long left.

1947 involved in a heavy rtc on sandon rd bearwood saturday, 1945/46 could donate all the parts, but its question of all the bent body frame work, its all the back driver side from light to the back wheel,  might be easier to remove the engine and place it in 1945/46 may be

YW 4590 - I actually think this bus has been withdrawn or on it's way to being officially withdrawn as it hasn't been tracked since August 10th, also I haven't sighted it in quite a while. It has been parked in the same spot at YW garage for a number of weeks now. I don't know if anyone else can shed any light on this?

It is not withdrawn, and is due to get a replacement engine from a withdrawn trident.

I post the fleet changes (September are now on the main site) so no need for guessing

What's the likelihood of 1907/7023 retuning to service again. Apologies if it's in the wrong thread
