It would appear so, a quick check on DVLA website shows it as SORN(statutory off road notice)

1604 could be going to sqaure peg at some point I don't think so? Saw an image of it being at a scrap yard I believe since it had its accident.

Hope Arriva Yorkshire had sense to take out or retain the engine (provided its a runner) of 1604 before it went the yards seeing as 704 now requires a 'new' one ! Penfold

AY Spectra 704 Training bus, seeing as its thrown its pistons through side of engine block. Penfold One way trip to Barnsley i would of thought Shortage of training vehicles and having only just passed its MOT might mean its repaired. Penfold

If they're short of training vehicles then they possibly will spend on it but is parts still available for the spectras as I think most got withdrawn in the country and 717 went to tiger

I noticed 1611 has disappeared from the Bus Times fleet list so had that been withdrawn now too? So before we know it we’re down to 4 left!

1613 has apparently gone to Wakefield and from bustimes it's a spare ticket machine. Must mean that only 3 remains

I've returned 1606 to Castleford which safety service runs out on Tuesday and not going to do any maintenance on it at Castleford so may of been the last driver to drive it on the open road under its own power tonight from Selby to Castleford and wasn't going down without a fight in these winds
