Any ideas if we're getting more VLWs like 4216 & also what'll replace the darts, guessing we'll get more solos???

As you asked this same question yesterday, I'd ask that you please refer to the forum guidelines and specifically, section 1e which I've copied for you below:

Forum Guidelines Wrote:1. Please enjoy the forum! The forum was set up for bus enthusiasts to discuss the hobby so please use it to the full but be mindful that your posts do not/are not:

If somebody knew the answer or was able to share it, they'd do so. Asking the same questions repeatedly will result in little more than a removal of posts. Thanks.

4061 is withdrawn awaiting disposal at Winsford. 4215 has been parked up all week since failing on the 84 resulting in it having to be recovered by tow truck. I believe external engineers may have to be fetched in to sort it. On a more positive note 4216 appears to be performing well and is popular with the drivers. It has been allocated to the 84 diagram all week.

Aye 3615s still plodding on like usual, maybe not the newest bus we've got hut its reasonably comfy & quite quick for its age. 4216 does seem very popular with drivers & passengers alike, can't blame em tho cos its gorgeous inside & out!

Just shows that when they're willing splash the cash arriva can refurb vehicles to a really high standard.1 or 2 drivers have mentioned its a bit hard hearing people through the cab protection screen. See how long it lasts as on DLAs they've removed em.
