Some routes have kept their bendies for a long time. Example is First Manchester 135s Scania Omnicities. Have survived a very long time on the route. This is correct, though some 135 journeys are undertaken by B9TL's. Just out of interest, What other First regions still operate the bendies?. Off top o'me head i can only think of Swansea's FTR's, York's Citaro's (P&R), Aberdeen (Though i believe these have been largely replaced by E500,s from Glasgow) and West of England (Bath/Bristol?), Are there anymore in operation elsewhere?. I think Swanseas FTRs were withdrawn in 2015. Currently no wright streetcars in operation.

Think also First South West use them a the Eden Project, in fact didn't one of the FWY streetcars go down their. 19010? Although looking at Flickr comments this may have never entered service as Eden.

For some reason First West Yorkshire FTR's 19014/19020 are now back at Leeds (Bramley Garage) leaving just both 19012 & 19022 at Cherry Row.

I understand that 19010 was at the Eden Project site yesterday, although not in service. 19010 has now been reported and photographed in store at Buses of Somerset First South West Yeovil Depot. I'm sure I also read somewhere that 19005 was also due to go to FSW for Eden Project service. Does anyone know what the status of 19005 is now and where it might be?

19010 went to Eden intially but has being to Southampton since. 19005 was planned to go South but is currently sat in Leeds Bramley. All of the FTR's that were inside Cherry Row have being moved out due to a change in use of the site.

Only drove by there recently and saw it. Also I've realised swanseas Wright Streetcars are on a uni shuttle service. Some are still in old purple FTR colours. Mentioned above.

Correct, Swansea still had four Streetcars in service on University route 8X when I visited in June this year. 19030 is the only one still in FTR purple with 19034, 19036 & 19038 in a modified version of the Olympia livery which is branded as Unibus and also worn by their new Enviro 200 MMC's and a few B7RLE's.
