Withdrawn Vehicles

[Jack]

The batch of Tridents 4535-4539 were listed as withdrawn in an earlier post. However ALL are in use today. 
That said, I do expect the number in service to continue to fall over the next few months as newer buses are cascaded from other depots.

4535 is Euro 6, not going anywhere anytime soon....

Can't see any such claim TBH.

They were listed as still in service in @paulb1973 post further back - @BN corrected one withdrawal (4464). However I guess some more may go in due course but as stated, 4535 is Euro 6 so I would have thought will stick around in the same way as 4125 at Walsall. 

All that said, with 43 new vehicles available when the charging arrangements are completed (after Christmas presumably), those non Euro 6 up to 4474 and between 4536 and 4592 must be on borrowed time!! Amazing some of the 4225 batch of B7TL's have lasted 20 yrs + - shades of the Metrobus and BCT standards!!

Will Lazarus rise again, or is this the end?

They'll be a large number of buses withdrawn simply due to Pvr cuts from 3/1/23 + more withdrawn due to new Electrics entering service at NXC & newer cascades from NXC.

Engine. Not a greatly reliable vehicle either so we let it go.

Looks like this is the last year for the B7TL ALX400s as sole survivor 4417 probs won't see service in 2023

Is 4500 euro 6?

Doesn't appear to be, judging by the results on here:
