Disposals 2022

64021 was jacked-up behind a Wigley tow-truck at Padmore Street today, - no doubt it's on it's way to the breaker's yard.

Yes it's gone but it gave its engine and gearbox to let 64030 live a bit longer, 64015 gave its engine and box to 64046 and 64030 gave its gearbox to 64012 ... its been a bit busy in the shop...

Someone on Facebook has already stated that 66695 has been withdrawn, and all our Solos too, and this is correct if the tracker is to be believed ( - although there's nothing to say that some of these might be in store, or might get reinstated )

I was shocked to see there are only 3 left in Nimrod livery (Citaros)

There was an incident back towards the end of October on Rainbow Hill that involved a wall & Nimrod branded 64045 (I beleive?) I had assumed it was still OTR being repaired... However it has been registered with a SORN since 13 December so I wonder if it has been Withdrawn due to the damaged sustained?

And the other being 64021, which was Withdrawn a while ago now.

The 35 still has a PVR of 5 vehicles, would be nice to see another two citaro's branded up to complete the set once more!
