If you seen the state that bus was in then you wouldnt say exagurated. For a whole panel to need replacing rather than patched up means it was pretty bad.

Pannel was patched up with filler and window replaced thats it.

Crusader's X866 CCA (866) and X59 CHJ (869) have been towed away for their final journey to PVS.

Ex Bus Vannin TransBus Trident II/East Lancs Myllenium Lolyne GMN 372N (12) has been acquired. It has been re-registered AW04 XCK and given the fleet number of 127.

3 more Enviro 200s are also due here over the next few months. These will replace Crusader's X93 CHJ (863) and X864 CCA (864) which will subsequently be withdrawn.

This leaves Crusader L2 SLT (862) as the last remaining one. This is due to be withdrawn in September.

Optare Versa YJ10 EYZ (105) has now been withdrawn from the fleet, as work needs to be done before re-sale (eg. Repaint etc).
