Was that the bus with the multicoloured LED displays?

Well done, NXWM!

Was that the bus with the multicoloured LED displays?

No, just selected by the museum as a representative of the era, with the actual vehicle chosen because a volunteer at the museum is also a vehicle inspector at YW and knew the good and bad points of it.

Was that 4368 that used to be at BC years ago? That ones long gone now and been scrapped I think.

That sounds familiar - what happened to the blind sets?

1349 is with a private owner who owns about 4 other ex WMT vehicles.  It is up to him if he makes his ownership public

Thanks Tony, was just curious because I feared they'd all been scrapped

No, he's a good bloke and is at Miller Street today checking out 1450 & 1512 which he had made an offer in

Assuming they are available to buy, has anyone shown interest in any of the 17xx's, formerly of Walsall depot,  either for further service or preservation yet?

Looks like ex-Dundee Gemini 7001 (SP54 CHF) has been procured by the ScotBus Preservation Group

Any ideas where it had been / was going?
