Arriva, Wrights, Volvo and LT Museum in London could all chip in to pay for its preservation. I suspect Stagecoach would have got involved if it was one of theirs. |

If its true then its bad as it surely should be preserved. So sounding what going by on here all we will have running on Merseyside in the form of an Arriva gemini is 4204 and 4214 ...4203 is amongst my favourite , maybe the ones not mentioned going for scrap will stay as pool or be moved further use 4210 and 4212 are also being retained for the pool fleet along with a few DLPs Talking of favourite VLWs I'd have to go with 4209 and 4210. 4212 is a decent one IMO |

They're primarily for rail replacements but could be used in service if required. Don't know about a dedicated livery though (07/02/2018 14:05)mrailman200 Wrote: Do you know is the brick bus going to stay as the brick bus 4204 ??

Don't know about a dedicated livery though Slightly off topic but does that mean 4412 and 4438 are also staying in BlazeBus and SpaceBus livery I had a feeling 4204 would stay a bit longer than the other VLWs due it's BrickBus livery |
