Just checked and that's correct, 32546 and 32636 were withdrawn in November and December respectively.

Completely forgot about that one, actually just checked my own records for the FSW fleet and that's the only vehicle that could feasibly be getting withdrawn instead of a repaint, I think some of the B7TLs are now going thanks to the arrival of B9s but not necessarily immediately. 1674753663...

B9TLs should all be staying, don't think there are any vehicles in Olympia at Kernow that aren't staying long-term and simply are awaiting repaint.

No problem.

If I remember correctly from that Facebook group under the same post it was also stated 3 more B9TLs were arriving to Kernow from Glasgow for open-top conversion, I'm assuming it's these 3 and the other transfers will likely go ahead as planned. The below was posted by a driver for Kernow:

He means 5 on the Oxted line in 2020. There were more, if I remember correctly there were 2 minor slips in January that they fixed within a day or 2 but then about 5 or so hit the line in February. It's definitely a bit of an issue though, the Redhill-Tonbridge line was closed for a similar...

I believe it was February but yes there were quite a few on that line around that period, line opened again in late-March. This new one is in a similar area as well, the ones in 2020 were all in the Lingfield/Dormans area but this new one is slightly further up, between Lingfield and Hurst Green.

Wasn't even aware Eastbourne wasn't served anymore actually, i'd imagine it will be via Brighton though, or maybe Hastings if that's on the cards too.

East Grinstead used to be served by a London-Eastbourne route I believe, numbered 24, despite ceasing several years ago it's still marked on the East Grinstead War Memorial stop.

I believe 3 are being fitted with Dellner couplings to replace the 47s on rolling stock movement duties so I'd imagine when those 3 are out they'll get round a bit.

Both 37388 and 37416 are in Lizard livery now, Marc Huws shared a photo of 37388 yesterday.

I believe Go North East did something similar around the same period, I believe against Arriva North East?

It's a YX72 plate, VX is a typo.

I believe MUL104 is a rural school route.

Right, that does seem plausible, things don't seem good right now.

already come and gone haven't they? a lot of Solo SRs have been withdrawn due to timetable changes, mostly tender losses if I remember correctly.

Perhaps but I would've thought the E300s still have some years in them in Manchester, same with the B7RLEs which are actually newer than the E300s.

Attached is a First Glasgow document that's been circulated on the firstbus enthusiasts Facebook group, the notable bit for this thread is 32 E200MMCs due to head to Manchester from Glasgow, quite possibly meaning First have gained quite a bit in the tenders.

Ah yes, forgot this thread is solely for branding and livery changes, apologies.
