They must be crazy to scarp those good condition ones... But I noticed Svc 232 has been getting more O405's wor.
There isn't any increase in number of Mercs in 232's fleet, its just the cameos which keep appearing, the 3 Scanias are still there.

really wasted... they scrapped 3880H, a good bus =(oh well, what can i say
-
From my stats there are about 555 Merc left on revenue service. Add up those on training would be around 565.
Not too little.. At least they are still around :)

They will just pick some buses to refurbish and extend lifespan, the rest will be due for de-registration. Simple thing is that if you don't scrap the rest, you find that you have more and more buses (With about 500 coming our way presently) and then you would not have the space to store these buses. -
381B, 393S, 396J are some of the Mercedes at the lay-up corner.
3901G is refurbished.
