Nice one MM, people may now start to accept that 7622 has carried its last passengers now.

Wonder what they plan on doing with 2814 & 2816, they are a bit wasted just sitting there, that said I think they are horrible buses.

Why was 7622 scrapped, did it have an expensive problem?
Anyhow, good riddance to the first ANW Marshall. May the others follow very swiftly.

Came from Bolton in a similar condition. It's had a couple of extra bits taken off since but not much so it's been in that condition for a good while!

I agree, I wouldn't like for them to enter service here and I know drivers agree as they're chronically underpowered as a batch of buses. I imagine they must remain, at least for the moment, NW property hence them staying here instead of moving to NE with the rest of the batch which transferred down from McGills.

2421 Will probably just get a repaint and LED's and Speke allready refurb'ed the seats, Will be interesting to see if the seatbacks and interior pannelling is given a lick of paint though!
