No scrap busses at St Helens, only bus round back of Jacko is accident damaged 4595 and 3036 awaiting mechanical work

Has it been decided if 4595 is to be repaired or just used for spares

Would assume to be repaired as its only 8yrs old. Will see if I can find out any info

4503 looks like it has issues currently at Moreton Cross with hazards on, was on 407 now showing not in service.

4115 possibly withdrawn due to numerous faults. 4113 to transfer in over weekend to either replace it, or be used as a donor to repair 4115 (whichever is in the best overall condition).

4504 to Hardies Deeside having been VOR for some time, issue acquiring Hybrid system parts I believe.

2988 has been withdrawn, 2919 was sent up there from Bootle a few weeks ago to replace it

2988 definitely withdrawn and being stripped for parts.

As expected 4113 arrived today, uncertain on future.

The B7s still do service work although are officially for rails.
