As I've said before

Apparently 4105/8300's conversion to a driver training vehicle is now complete

Wasn't really focused on the training fleet until I came across 8269 outside Bootle Strand this afternoon, surprisingly still running about at over 20 years of use now. I wonder if there are any plans for it to be replaced in the long run?

Hopefully it gets preserved as it's one of the last DAF based Commanders and also the last one of its kind with the body
