6599 was withdrawn in October 2011, not 2010. It has likely been sold on for further use but unrecorded as to who.

A quick search shows 6578 and 6603 were or still are with Newtons of Newbridge, so thats a further two ticked off the 'unknown list' thankfully. Recalling also that 6607 was the example converted so a mobile sewing room or the like at Liverline, clearly still around somewhere too though no doubt still in a non-PSV state, just exactly where is the question.

Apart from locating 6607, the only others to precisely locate are 6531, 6576 (assuming they have left their respective dealers) along with 6599.

6559 has an export marker on it. It was presumed to have gone to Eire after withdrawal.

More good news K101!
One of Green Lane's finest 6604 (N604 CKA), is still a runner!
DVLA say she's taxed 'til the end of April '13.

This bus was obviously 'In-trade' since withdrawal and was left untaxed.

I remember 6604 as being a very nice bus and very fast despite a noticeable transmission 'shiver' when the power went down. Original 50-seat MTL red interior too with the three tip-up seats fitted near the front.
Not as good as 6606, but what the heck, made-up to find she's still going

6604 was one of the last ones in service, I saw it on the 27 in September 2011 so I assume a withdrawal from Liverpool before disposal.

I'm sure 6604 went up north of the border at the same time as 6606/11 and the former Skem trainer 6502. There aren't any pictures of it online though, so you never know it mightn't have entered service up there like 6622 didn't.

6617 was also only one of two of these that made it into new arriva colours with the other of course being 6571.
