7675 the last of the batch and indeed the last bus delivered to MTL is withdrawn and stored at chester depot it is still reported to be fully intact as other marshalls stored at chester have been cannibalised wonder if preservation will beckon for 7675 due to its historic significance? Maybe this is why it hasnt been stripped.

Can anyone say are any of the following still on the road plz: 7627/28 7644/7647/7673. These have all worked around the macc & winsford areas in their lives & out of the bunch i'd personally say 7673 was the best & 7644 deffo the worst!

7627 and 7644 are withdrawn and are/were on the scrap line at St Helens Depot. I think 7647 has been withdrawn and is again at St Helens.

I'm sure I spotted 7675 in service in Chester yesterday?

Are you sure it wasn't 7625 as that was placed back in service a few weeks ago after being withdrawn from Green Lane.

I could be wrong mate but I did think it was 7675..

7628 still sat in winsford next to 8223. It's had some parts taken from it, but other than that - it's still in pretty good nick!
