both the above to buses are in Reserve rather then withdrawn i think the difference is reserve means still taxed and withdrawn expried tax

I hear that T701 PND is the final B6 in service with Queen Road now, a bit of a shame these out lived the Renowns as i always found the B6s to be very under powered
