I can roughly make out '1440', but 1440 is a Middlesbrough bus, isn't it?

Yes, 1440 is a Redcar vehicle. It's also one of the older examples, this one is a 2011 example due to the rear design.

So, flooded out and now front-end smash. The Unlucky Pulsar.

Very unlucky! Is 1498 going to be written off or, as it's so new, will it be repaired?

Sounds like it will be repaired. All depends on the extend of the damage (ie has the Chassis twisted?)

RE: Arriva North East
Hi folks, saw the last remaining prisma with arriva ne 3007 on the 81 today and it got me thinking has any interest been expressed in preserving her when her number is up with arriva by any individual/ organisation, it would be a crying shame if this last example were to disappear from teessides roads forever, also how practical would preservation be? I assume parts would be readily a available from 3007s 20 odd scrapped sisters at ....... Carlton??? If I remember correctly, I'm sure someone here could confirm or deny that. Just a thought I had today and would be interested to hear your views on this subject.
