spot on, the volvos have a notice about it on them. It will also appear on 223 as its replacing the excel and was why the 16 plate solo came in as the excel gave up on life. The Excel's engine has been sounding as though it was on it's way out recently so not surprised. well surprisingly the doors and door control backed in first then everything else on arrival back at the yard. Plus every couple of round trips it would need more water.

Yes they should buy half a dozen brand new buses at once, I can't imagine what must be stopping them.

They would nt hav to spend a fortune to replace the older members of their fleet. The 54/55 plate cadets M travel or the 55 plate solos wud upgrade their fleet more.

I think the white 62 plate versa has been sent back because I passed it on Saturday and it had a piece of paper in the windscreen that said 223 and the destination board said merry Christmas

W673WGG is now withdrawn following an engine fire on Saturday in Hemsworth. Darts KX06LXG/H have apparently been acquired via auction. KX06LXG has been out in service on 223 last 2 days. KX07HFB is on loan due to SJ51LYP engine failure.

They've just announced on their FB page that the final day of operations of the 223 service is next Friday. It's been withdrawn. My deepest sympathies and thoughts are with those and their families who will lose the jobs if that happens. Especially as it's so close to Christmas!
