Withdrawn Vehicles

[V89MOA]

Been told from a reliable source that 4417 has been withdrawn.

4417 was dumped at the back of Coventry garage, infront of 4207, on Friday and looked as if it was being used for spares with a couple of easily replaced bits missing.

Pensnett seems to have some additions for the reserve fleet yard inc 4140 & 4146 + possibly NXC 4206?

There's also 2 x Tridents on NXWM livery parked facing the facing in the top right-hand corner of the main depot yard - I assume withdrawn?

Cov 4211 which is listed as still in service - appears to be at Miller St (pic on Flickr). So I assume that one is now withdrawn/in reserve.

I guess the Cov Trident will be one of 4204/6-7/9/13-16 (4206 has possibly made a recent appearance at Pensnett so probably not that one). There was some debate on Facebook as to whether it could have been 4216, but no confirmation of that.

Been sent a photo, within the past hour or so, of 6015 & 6021 together.

The pair have seemingly made their way down to the West Country, and were photographed at SPS (Somerset Passenger Solutions); based in Bridgwater. There are speculations that they may pass onto First Bus, though I'm not certain of this.

Probably just some confusion over the ownership of SPS. Somerset Passenger Solutions was a joint operation between now ceased Crosville and First but I think it's just a separate company now, with links to First  Edit: they are a part of First  :P

That seems logical as they haven't went for double deckers yet, I assume height restrictions, so artics would surely be the best option, just new ones are probably quite pricey

SPS is First. NX sold them to Dawson Group who have leased or sold them to First for possible use on internal shuttles at the Nuclear Plant SPS serves

Load of rubbish. 4417 is currently out on the 10.

No it wasn't a load of rubbish at all, get your facts right, that was nearly a month ago now and seeing as I said 'easily replaceable' it's perfectly reasonable it would be back in use by now...

This post was more aimed at the person who said they've been told 4417 has been withdrawn. Their source can't be that reliable. Apologies.
