I always like 4023 because of the non standard hopper windows and the rev happy engine that always seemed to over rev when changing from 1st to 2nd gear. Sad to see them go

Yeah it did over rev

It over revved in first, and in second it changed weirdly early

I have 4057 as sold for scrap in Sept 2016 - could that be something else at MS?

I must have red it wrong then.
It may be 4067/4097 then

It's 4060 rather than 4069 in the row of presidents at Green Bus and the one between 4029 & 4101 is 4034.

From my own notes - the only recent withdrawals without a location (unless they remain at their old garages etc) are: 4040/4048/4054/4069/4084/4090/4091/4092/4096/4097/4099.

Are Green Bus buying them or are they just providing extra storage?

Apparently a 'large operator' is taking 'several'.

I don't know who or how many.

Green Bus, who are selling them on NX's behalf have so far sold 9

Must have been another then, as 2 presidents are definitely still parked at AG visible from the road.

Taken on 29th December on a recent trip to Dublin, here is 4115 in its next life turning towards the Temple Bar area from O'Connell Street.
Now on Irish reg plates, but retains livery, fleet number and some/part decals.
Apologies for the blur, couldn't get my phone out quick enough.
Long live 4001!
