Withdrawn Merc's

[Adam 404]

1558 and 1625 are both withdrawn. However, it looks like another bus that I have not identified has since been withdrawn.
Does anyone know what fleet number this is if of course it is withdrawn!

1558 & 1625 were both withdrawn during September along with 1680. Tony's fleetchanges bottom of the main site homepage confirms this. The fleet changes for October will more than likely be posted by mid next week,

1608 joined the withdrawn line at the end of October too, leaves 1548 as the only one in service in old Travel Coventry livery.

Winstons entry leads us to 1687 a non PSV being transferred to Coventry. What use will this have at Coventry depot?

The Coventry withdrawn Mercs, 1558,1563,1566,1569,1608,1625,1680 are parked out of service, as reported in this topic, at the the depot. Of these 1608,1680,1558, and 1625 are at the front of the depot and 1566,1569, and 1563 are  lined up at the rear.   1558 and 1625 are acting as a fence to seal the front depot from adjacent cleared ground where the Theartre One building has been demolished, they are sandwiched in so close together, one behind the other, it looks difficult when the time comes to prise them apart. Some of these buses have been out of service since Septemer 2014

Can I add..... 1625 of these withdrawn 0405's had covered 964,888K by March 2011, it could be  the highest milage bus among all the Coventry 0405s by the withdrawn date. Most of that milage was covered before it came to Coventry of course

1548, spent all its years at Coventry was our oldest bus   before withdrawal, had completed 840884K by March 20th 2011. Would anyone know the final milage of these buses..I did write to the GM at Coventry asking for the milage of 1548..but had no reply.
