1251 sitting behind workshops at Port depot with no engine in it, after being towed back earlier this week. I think you can add that to the list.

What bus is 1372? I didn’t know there was a bus by this number at the moment. Is this an Iveco or new arrival?
St Agnes 1480? There is no number is there?
Not having a go at anyone at all, just curious. Cheers

Thanks Route 506 for pointing out those mistakes of mine
1370 should have been 1373,back in service.
1480 should have read 1481 also now back in service.
