I would say 2427 has worked it's last from the photo I saw recently, seemed to have a fair bit of damage to the rear.


RE: The DAF Wright Cadets - T42 PVM - 06/08/2015 17:15

2416 and 2422 are Withdrawn at St Helens

2479 is also Withdrawn but am not sure if its still on site at Runcorn


RE: The DAF Wright Cadets - Scania1996 - 06/08/2015 18:21

2417 is withdrawn following MOT expiration


RE: The DAF Wright Cadets - SK15 GZG - 06/08/2015 18:23

Thanks for the updates guys. I've updated the list


RE: The DAF Wright Cadets - bus401 - 07/08/2015 00:05

I thought 2438 and 2441 were also withdrawn?


RE: The DAF Wright Cadets - T42 PVM - 07/08/2015 00:45

Not Withdrawn yet, Saw 2441 on 05/08/15 and am sure i have seen 2438 recently as well

So, not many left in service now. It is interesting to reflect on how they have been replaced indirectly by new double-deckers.


RE: The DAF Wright Cadets - RSTurbo50 - 10/08/2015 20:01

I drove 2419 at Runcorn a few years ago. I was a newly qualified driver...boy was that thing quick but the brakes were shocking lol
