4207 on 410's today

This months edition of "The London Bus" reports that the following vehicles were sold by Arriva North West in August:
4162 LJ51 DLZ
4163 LJ51 DLX
4164 LJ51 DKY
4166 LF52 UPS
4176 LJ51 OSY
4214 LF52 PKO
Sale does not necessarily mean that they have yet left Arriva premises - and no purchaser was noted.
RE: Arriva North West DLPs & VLWs - T42 PVM - 28/09/2017 20:59
66 and 76 are the only ones on the list currently still getting used (66 on loan to Speke and 76 at Birkenhead). Was there any information on the sale, as in if they was sold on for further service or if they are sold for Scrap?

4162/66 were still in use on Manchester rail replacements earlier this month (Sept. 2017)

66 was reported at Speke just the other day, to help cover for the upcoming Rail Replacement

As stated above, all that was stated was that these vehicles had been "Sold". No purchaser or information as to whether they were for further use or for scrap was given.
I believe it is not totally uncommon (but please correct me if I am wrong) for vehicles to be sold, but then continue to be operated by Arriva until they actually have no further use for them - particularly in the case of the scrap man.
Indeed, they are all still taxed, although it is not uncommon for withdrawn vehicles to remain taxed for several months, with the cancellation of tax only taking place some time after a vehicle physically leaves Arriva.
I'm not trying to create confusion here, just reporting something that was reported elsewhere.
