Selling 121 is going to effectively pay for another ex-Jim Stones Enviro 200.

In September, the new 65-plate Enviro 200s will displace the last remaining Crusader (862) all ready for the forthcoming DDA changes.

I wondered if still KM51BFN at Helms yard or gone? I saw KM51BFN week ago on route 272. Hope this help.

It's currently sat in the yard, with a potential buyer still deciding wether or not they wish to purchase it.
