Anybody know what's likely to be perseved if any?
2211 and 2236 are ok to ride on and I saw 2217 a few weeks ago in Bolton bus station. Looked alright inside and out but I think it was a spare bus so couldn't ride it.

I've always considered 2262 to be a half decent example but 2236 is also not bad. Shame if one isn't preserved they've been a real work horse over there life.

2262 was a heap a few years ago when it just shuddered. A much quieter example when the gearbox was sorted. Pity its withdrawn.

I would say that these - like the R-ABAs - will probably all go for scrap

I agree, I think all will go for scrap as well, if there was one I would like to have seen saved it would have been 2233 as even for one of these this was always a decent one.

Both 2236 and 2262 are awful examples, 2211 is not a bad Bus and very Original with it still having Roller Blinds, Old Livery and old seats, However i think they will all end up going for scrap
