UPDATE: 18528 – Eastbourne, 18529 – Hastings, 18530 – Eastbourne, 34844 – Hastings
The confusion of what is happening with 18528/9/30 has just got a whole lot more confusing! First of all, 18529 and 18530 were said to be transferring to Eastbourne to replace 13992/3, but then 18528 and 18530 were pictured at Folkestone bus station on Saturday, and today 18529 has turned up in Hastings on the Arrows… Who knows what the future holds…
Do you know if 13992/3 will be sold or scrapped, they would be good for preservation.

I think they are unfortunately being scrapped

We do not know, at the present, all we know is they are withdrawn for service in Eastbourne.

Very sad, it would be good if a more recent ex Stagecoach South East bus made it into preservation (such as R745DRJ,T468EGT, K789DAO or P697RWU).

Harry Powell: Apparently these are just here to be stored until scrapped, again we do not know much about this.

According to uk-buses 3319 T467EGT is Awaiting Scrap!

Yes, 33319 is withdrawn from Folkestone, as the Low Floor part where the bus is supposed to go down doesnt work, therefore Non DDA compliant

I am trying to set up a chat box on Google+ but I can only connect to Hastings Buses. It won’t let me ad K789DAO.
