decent bus one of favouite heritage bus hope it don't get scrapped still don't get why 37528 was painted from number 1 heritage Sheffield coporation tramways to Sheffield blue Unlikely that it will get scrapped. Buses are designed to get in to scrapes and the front ends are rather robust. The only bus that I recall coming off worse was an ALX400 that hit a Range Rover on Birley Spa Lane and the entrance step collapsed, I think it was sorn. They might have been in the 1980s The ALX400 in question was 30861 and it wasn’t beyond repair, RTC repairs far worse have been done in house or externally. It was scrapped because it was an end life Euro 2 B7TL and there are other end life buses with RTC damage have been scrapped since then (69053/69215/60887/31784 spring to mind) |

I’ve not heard anything re any Streetlites from OG moving to Manchester other than the 2 I’ve mentioned. Sadly nothing for Doncaster to replace 63104/106 at the minute, Doncaster had 2 more buses than they should have had

They’re not at Olive Grove because they’ve lost any buses, they’re there as some extra vehicles are required to operate the tram replacements |

The only buses we've lost recently are the three B9s withdrawn due to engine problems, but remember we already had more buses than we should've in the form of the ex-Manchester Gemini 2s and the York B9s because we were struggling to make PVR - an issue which is largely resolved these days. |

It’s been at Doncaster a couple of years, came from Manchester (Bolton) via Diamond bus. We got that, 37384 and 4 Enviro 400s. I’m not sure why 37351 ever ended up at Bolton from Bristol |
