Hopefully they will stay in Yorkshire and a local independent will buy them up. True Selby legends they were. Even much so as the ECW Oly's.

All 3 have now been withdrawn and are believed to have left Belle Isle Wed morning for Stafford Bus Centre where they are currently for sale.

Penfold They could have gone north on the A642 to the M62 and then they would have had to go via Lofthouse to go south on the M1. They might have decided against Westgate with the bridge works for the A638. All depends just how well the drivers know the low bridge problems of Wakefield. Let's not forget these 3 would not pass unscathed under Agbrigg bridge when driven under their own power................

Makes u wonder whoever takes these on will use then for a while then straight to the scrapyard. Hopefully not and someone will preserve at least one of them. Thought arriva would have "donated" one to the museum.

They must have a high mileage. 15 or so years doing York to Selby and other longish services.
