Both AY 437 (R985FNW) and 439 (R29GNW) have been withdrawn from service and are currently parked up at Belle Isle with 'Do not rob parts' stickers in the windscreen.

Maybe, or transferred elsewhere because afterall they have stickers on the window saying "do not remove parts" & that's what normally happens when they are staying or getting preserved etc.

Dosen't Middlesborough/Loftus have a few of these, maybe they could be going up there as extra vehicles to maintain timetables.

Why not transfer them to York Pullman. York Pullman is not part of Arriva.......... Pullman would have to buy them from Arriva, but i can see them going Northwards. |

Arriva North East maybe ? Or Scotland, I think that's up North. Or are they being considered for some "new" driver trainers |

I can see the ALX200s they've got in Selby being run until they fall apart. With no council contracts in the evening and on Sunday, fewer passengers travelling on the services that remain, and costs increasing much faster than pax will tolerate fare rises, Arriva (and all bus companies) are likely to be looking to cut costs as much as possible, and that will mean running buses for much longer than they would have done before. |

I wonder if they are going to Malta? Arriva need to send loads of buses there, so it maybe a possibility.

So what is Malta doing with the Lynx's, Dart's, Excel's they have ?

The Lynx's & all the other Step entrance buses will probably be scrapped or preserved by the owners & all the other Low Floor buses might get transferred to Arriva or sold elsewhere.
