End Of The Road?

It appears that one of the quartet of First's '51' registered Alexander ALX400 bodied Volvo B7TLs may have reached the end of the road.

30961 YJ51 RDV is pictured in the rear yard of Caister Road depot yesterday following the need for a new engine. It is unlikely to be replaced

Also in the rear yard were recently withdrawn Plaxton Presidents 32206 LT52 WTM and 32213 LT52 WTW with the former displaying a notice not to remove parts. Suggesting a buyer had been found - preservation perhaps?

Meanwhile, the sole surviving Barbie liveried President 32210 LT52 WTR continued in service yesterday on the 8s between Caister and the James Paget Hospital
