The Damage doesn't look to bad, I can make out the stop bell and grab rail on the back seat. Most of the body seems Ok. Just smoke damage, Electrics and Rear seats need to be repaired probably would require all the upstairs seats to be done as they would all be damaged.

The bus is repairable, but at more than book value, so unlikely to be repaired, but until a decision is made it is not withdrawn despite those rather threatening comments from the 'I'm right so don't change it' person who is not actually right!

Being Euro 6 when an application is in to extend the use of not euro 6 may sway the decision yet.

Reminds me of the saying that @karl724223 uses frequently ALF's (I've still no clue what that means 😂) but whatever it means it pretty much sums up those idiots on bustimes...

Careful, usage of that term is banned now...

No it's still at Volvo at pensnett, but has been brought by Greenbus as spares. Doubt it will be moved anytime soon though as a NX coach that got smashed up on the motorway is parked directly infront of it

Yes, unfortunately it needs an expensive part that we are unable to get a delivery date for, and being safety critical will not use a second hand part of a scrap bus
