I saw 2480 going up Green Lane with "Private Hire" on the destination screens about 20 minutes ago

Why is 4190 withdrawn?
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor Depot - Y727 KNF - 07/12/2018 06:46
Are you sure they're withdrawn and not just waiting repairs ?
Also 921 is back here but permanently this time

Seems quite odd doesn't it a bus not even 10 being 'withdrawn' for some damage.

2650 - CX07CTZ was involved in a serious head on collision whilst operating a early morning X3 service from Blaenau ffestiniog to Pwllheli. From the photographs I’ve seen it sustained substantially head on damage. I believe there is also damage to the offside of the vehicle as well

The age of the vehicle is only one factor when a decision is taken to withdraw and scrap a vehicle after an RTA. If the damage is beyond economic repair (such as a twisted chassis) it will be scrapped. In the past, there have been cases where buses have been involved in RTAs and have been scrapped despite only being months old.

Does not seem to be mentioned that is been involved in an RTA, seems as though its just received some damage underneath and its being withdrawn, seems a little odd.
