Finally it had to happen, bus 641 has appeared to been painted back into standard livery (blue/yellow/white) from its red 'Free Loop' livery.

Well people, get the tissues out to wipe those tears, the very last MAN SL200 series 1 bus has FINALLY been withdrawn from operation, well more so from driver training operation.

Also, buses 200 & 202 have also now been withdrawn, and before anyone asks WHY these have been withdrawn early, don't bother cause I don't know...

You are missing the 18th make: Volvo B12BLE 14.5m/ Volgren "CR228L."

I'm not missing it yet. When it goes into service or more so is officially delivered (even if not in service) it'll then appear.
The information can be found on my website though by typing in Volvo B12BLE or bus numbers 1709 to 1768

It's currently sitting at a depot unregistered where MR drivers are about to get training to get their HR licence from what was explained to me last night.
