What source told you that the fairbrothers examples had been sold?
RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's - R879 HRF - 10/12/2012 15:56
A fella at fairbrothers - theyre being replaced with tridents because they 'look more modern and are easy axcess' - makes sense really!
RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's - RSTurbo50 - 10/12/2012 19:49
Very interesting. From the looks of things they are still really really quiet.....not sure how they are making the money.

thats funny as i was talking to fairbrothers on their facebook only a few weeks ago and it was said on there that the tridents coming are to replace the unreliable B6's they recently bought

I just said what i was told, i did say it wasnt 100% certain either.. In this industry its always a case of wait and see.
Also it seems 3303 (N303 CLV, now VIL8681) at Blakewater coaches has been sold- (rumoured to be scrapped), however mentioned as a possible preservation candidate. Im not 100% sure, but either way its not with Blakewater anymore.
It - like 3291 - also has a PG9 attatched to it regarding a poor seat belt fitting.
