The Real 4778

I know we've been given plenty of notice of the type's demise, but it still feels unbelievable that the end is nigh.

Mates have referred to 4114 for over a decade as my 'machine,' as it was the first bus I saw every day for seemingly weeks on end back in 2001 or so.  I have always had a liking for the ex Sutton batch, and 4114 has long been my fave bus on the fleet. 
Don't you start.

Taking into account the forthcoming withdrawal of the four Plaxton Presidents Tony listed - these should be left?

YW: 4090/92 (total 2)

Dundee: 4025-26/28/36/42-43/45/74/76/112/117-124 (total 18)

That list is most helpful as far as I'm concerned,given I'm in the process of rewriting my NXWM fleetlist at the moment.

Yes, I was just waiting for Tony's confirmation on that, but it looks like a few more WB ones have been laid up. So probably less than 20 there. I think that totals 65 in the West Midlands and 21 in Dundee [not totally sure if 4111/3/6 are withdrawn and are still around]. Potentially 86 still in ownership out of a total of 102 delivered (16-17 years ago) which ain't bad.

According to a YW driver I know, 4090 is now withdrawn meaning YW now have 0 Presidents  :'(

Has 4128 been withdrawn @Tony ?

Tony is away and will be back next week.

I know they're in reserve but they're unlikely to see service again so do we know when or if the Scania bendies will be leaving Miller Street ?
