As stated above, all that was stated was that these vehicles had been "Sold". No purchaser or information as to whether they were for further use or for scrap was given.

I believe it is not totally uncommon (but please correct me if I am wrong) for vehicles to be sold, but then continue to be operated by Arriva until they actually have no further use for them - particularly in the case of the scrap man.

Indeed, they are all still taxed, although it is not uncommon for withdrawn vehicles to remain taxed for several months, with the cancellation of tax only taking place some time after a vehicle physically leaves Arriva.

I'm not trying to create confusion here, just reporting something that was reported elsewhere.
