The only buses readily available to replace the Centros - which according to an earlier post are planned for withdrawal in the not too distant future - are the Cadets in the pool fleet

Think the reason the centros are starting to be replaced is because they've been so unreliable & given winsford endless headaches plus with 2613 recently having caught fire I can't imagine will have helped their cause.

Also the cadets which are replacing them are usually very reliable & pull better. It's been noted apparently by a few drivers that the centros struggle with hills.

Of note as well today, macc have got gemini decker 4489 back. Now sporting the new arriva sky blue livery which suits it.
