Group that 7569 has been seen on the back of a tow-truck heading towards Barnsley on the M62 this morning. Another one was with it, which I suspect was 7551. (Credit to "Dave H" for this information.) That's funny, before I got to your post Michael I was going to say I hadnt seen 7569 for a week or so. Actually, just thinking, 7569's MOT must have ran out or something must have gone wrong as it was moving alright when I had it on the 61 just about 2 weeks ago. |

(10/08/2012 21:54)P450 SWX Wrote: 7533 (P533 MBU) - CHESTERI'd assume because it's obviously still considered an operational requirement. If there's no problems on it, it has MOT still to run, has tax still to run and is required for service, what's the point of shipping something marginally newer (and also undergoing withdrawal) all the way over to Chester just to replace it? To be honest though, I doubt 7533 will have much of a future left after the new Pulsars enter service, which is unfortunate. A Cadet could in theory be retained to replace it if there aren't enough Pulsars to replace it outright anyway. ![[Image: 1chYP.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/1chYP.jpg)

7533 is still MOT'd and taxed, it's doing a job and if there's nothing majorly wrong with it, and it's running ok (Which it was the other week when I had the pleasure of a ride), then theres no reason to withdraw it as far as Chester are seemingly concerned! |

7552 is now due of the road feb 2013 once all new deckers for the 10 are in service, i think same for 7556 however cant confirm on that, 7552 it taxed until 31/3/13 at least For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!

Why have you listed them as withdrawn, when examples such as 7566 and 7557 have both been scrapped? |

And to add to Raawwwrrr's post why have you listed 7558 as withdrawn? It's off the road atm, but no one on here has said it's been withdrawn? |

RE: Ex MTL (R-ABA) 10.7M Plaxton Pointer 2's
Reece the reason is they have been withdrawn from the fleet thats the reason and yer N301 did not realise that anyone know if 7571 is still in service |
