@pacerchaser94348 күн бұрын
@patbiegaj a friend in the know told me which ones are going. I don't know the exact date of withdrawal, the Bee Network tranche 3 starts on 5th January. However some of the new buses in Manchester that were supposed to be in store until then are out on the road already. I believe there's a grace period where operators might use buses that are due to go to someone else (possibly until March), so the cascade of buses could be earlier or later than 5th January.

Thanks for this. Kirton bus and coach scrapyard was cleared I think by 2008/9, TOF708S was in a pretty poor state when pictured back in 2006, after basically just being left there from the moment it arrived, with rust trails forming from the exposed rivets underneath the windscreen. Most of the buses and coaches that were unfortunate to end their days there. North Bank and Applebys of Hull pretty much emptied their yards and all were scrapped or their remains scrapped either on site or Barnsley breakers

Good and informative review, thanks. I've just recently been drawn back to EFE's range, mainly Olympian and Bristol VRs. What lead me to this video was noticing the discrepancy with the wipers when comparing models with photos of the real vehicles. I spotted this firstly with the 2nd Crosville model (20440) and also noted a mismatch on the front indicator lights, the model having them aligned horizontally and the real bus vertically.. As for pricing on ebay, I wish the top end of it was around £40. All the ones I really want are around £70 ! Gonna have to dig around or be patient I guess 😊
@pacerchaser94342 ай бұрын
@@foordd154 thank you 👍 The front lights on MK2 VRs were often remodelled by operators which leads to some of the discrepancies. I know what you mean with eBay prices, I try to take a snapshot of them at the time I film the video but someone always comes along with a higher price!
