I don't think that bus should legally be on the road. If VOSA sniffed it out, First would be in bother!

Which should be just after the new year. As you already know 30707 G622OWR is to be scrapped And at the moment 30704 G619OWR is a maybe |

i dont think G619 OWR will be scrapped engine condition wise its one of the best ones
just the bodywork with leaks..
as for the rest of them scrapping cant see it
there have just put the yellow school stickers on G601 OWR today why would there do that then scrap them?

Well I know another Depot is interested in G619 OWR but if it does not go it is in the short list for scrapping at the moment.

i think someone should get one of the G...OWR buses for presevation would be great to see it in the old yorshire rider or bradford traveller colours, shame to see these old foe go theyve given good service for nearly 20 years.

I think anybody buying a bus off First for preservation will have their work cut out, yes Bradford probably looks after their buses more. But they're not in their best condition so can set you back thousands just to remove the etched glass etc.
