Hopefully in a few short years the 62 plate enviro 200s will follow, no way will these boxes do 15 year plus service. I,ll eat my hi viz if they do.

I noticed 7086, 7115, 7126? and 7140 in that set of photos as well.

The first three are pictured on that Flickr stream - at Miller St. Think 7115 has gone for scrap but the other two are still in existence (as far as I can tell). On the other hand if 7086/7126 have gone, I'll update my notes!

@paulb1973 Both 7086 & 7126 were still at Miller St as of the 9th of May

Thank you for that. Think these are the only buses left in the 7xxx number series in the NXWM fleet (Scanias 7019-33 and I believe sister Dart 7084, aside).

After all the Benz and B10 have left, which single decks are next (in due course) ?!

I don't think you will find that any more singles are withdrawn because the remaining singles are all quite new.

I assumed the Volvo B7RLE's @ Walsall were somewhat old although after a quick check on the main site, I'm wrong.

I'm fairly certain it's the 56 plate B7RLE's at WA that are due to be cascaded to Dundee.

Rumour has it they won't all be going to Dundee!

I think the WA B7RLES are some of the best buses in the fleet, i had hoped that they might have all gone to PN!

I've never had the pleasure of enjoying a ride on them, guess thats something to add to my "Ride" list !
