Why was 4238 withdrawn

Why was 4238 withdrawn

RTC damage

Oh ok

Oh ok

If you're a regular Flickr user - there are a few pics of 4238 at PVS's scrapyard (recent withdrawals 4255 & 1475 are seen too). Looks pretty complete, assume it was front or offside damage that led to its demise.

Yes, that's the Flickr page I follow too. There are two rather tidy looking De Courcey double deckers sitting in the yard of PVS (863/4 - Scania N113/East Lancs Cityzen's). These have been regulars on the roads of Coventry for some time, ex-Brighton & Hove looking on Tony's list (20 years old though).

Looking at this pic: https://www.flickr.com/photos/61188429@N06/32153924734/in/datetaken/
It looks like there is another 2 N113s in front of 864 (probably 861/862) and another NXWM decker next to what is probably 861 and 862

Why do nxwm use PVS when there are other Scrapyards available I mean any bus that scrapped from Walsall could use EMR Darlaston it's Nearer to Walsall than PVS and considering a Few B6's went to EMR Darlaston why can't other buses for WA do the same.

Maybe they get a better price from PVS?

All the later tridents at BC that I have seen recently, with the exception of 4594-6 have ad blue tanks fitted, even the ones not yet repainted crimson. This could be the reason BC are able to release some of the earlier tridents. Some of the YW 45XX tridents also have the ad blue tanks.

11 Branded 4660 and 4679 also have ad blue tanks fitted.

At Miller Street lunchtime.....following Tridents noted 4131, 4144, 4158, 4159, 4182, 4189, 4190. There were three or four others but couldn't see which they were.

Sounds like 4131 has moved from BC to MS and 4144 the same way (but a more recent withdrawal).
