Pictures of withdrawn Presidents & Tridents @ PN from today:

4073 & 4092 are new additions

Tony has, on his latest NXWM fleet updates, 4092 and 4031 sold to other operators - I assume they await collection?

Question on the sales of Presidents; I have '4043/4060 sold to Garratt's, Front 1/17 & 4055/4109 sold to GH Watts, Leicester 1/17' - are these companies one and the same thing?

I suspect the ones at PN aren't for re-sale & are awaiting their new roles as coke cans (4092 being one). They all appear to have been towed to their current resting place.

If you look at 4031 & 4079 in the photo link I posted, they are both had LED destination blinds removed

All four were sold to Andrews, Groby. Don't know if they have sold them on.

4031 & 4092 are listed as sold to other operators

Cheers for the sales update. I know sometimes bus companies can be known by their trading name/s, but also the name of an individual working for the same company. I suppose its more than possible some have been sold on. 4109 is still showing 'withdrawn' [at NXWM] - on the main fleet list, will you be updating that one.

Those Flickr pics seem to show 4031 at PN, and its condition seems so-so from the untrained eye, but the one marked '4092' actually shows 4079 & 4031.

Well spotted @paulb1973 never clocked, could have sworn there was an actual picture of 4092

Yeah, there isn't a pic of 4092 - but I assume it is [or has been] at PN. Perhaps they were sold, but the sale fell through at the very last minute or have been immediately sold-on elsewhere? Or simply...it takes a while before the new operator comes and collects their new acquisition/s.

All the Presidents that were up for sale were moved to The Green Bus depot including some that were previously in storage at PN. Obviously now TGB have sold the bulk of them, so storage there shouldn't be an issue

4092 has made it to its new owner apparently.

Trident 4186 is another BC examples that looks to have been withdrawn @ Miller St, this is also one with a Euro 4 engine:

Wiring problems, it may now see the reinstatement of 4172 now though. 4202 although 'withdrawn' from Pensnett may also return elsewhere

4172 is another Euro 4 engined Trident, or is that one you said the engine needed replacing?

Fairly easy fix then. Assuming not structural.

No, you have to take part of the staircase out
