theres 3 or 4 in cannocks yard that i believe are from shrewsbury garrage, 3417's back at tamworth but not sure about 3416, its listed at being at cannock but i havent seen it in cannock for some time, do you think theres any chance these buses will come back or be converted to trainers??

I hope not, they're too good for that! 3418 and 3424 were the best, lovely buses to drive. The worst was 3421 closely followed by 3423, both very unreliable. The bus seated ones always seemed to be a bit quicker for some reason.  They knock spots off a lot of the rubbish that's still in service.

DP ones were the best though the legroom on the bus seated ones was horrific

3423 is now that 'bus 4 life' and 3420 and 3421 are still sitting in cannock yard amongst others, the 2 n/xrc scanias arent bad buses considering their age

Couldnt't agree more, make the most of 3417 though because the mot runs out on 2nd of October, it'll be withdrawn then.

Bob

is that the one back at Tamworth from Cannock?

arrivaaston

Yes Bob i believe it is, where 3416 is though i dont know unless its sittin with other unused R/TLW scanias in cxannocks yard

andy

Bob I knew you were going to talk about the legroom on the bus seated ones! There was a difference. It will be a shame when they are all withdrawn as they are good buses, I'm sure they will serve somebody for a few years yet.

maybe they might transfer to another part of Arriva like 3429 did, i think that 1 went to arriva north east but saying that wasnt 1 of these sold on to heartlands?

3427 went on to heartlands

John

Yes, 3810 is still there on the 1 today.

I wonder when Scania YN08 HZX ( 3810 ) is going to join Scania YN08 HZY ( 3811 ) and YN08 HZZ ( 3812 ) at TAMWORTH YN08 HZX ( 3810 ) was still in CANNOCK today
