  2. Yes 124,127,128 and 130 are currently withdrawn and for sale at Milehouse. 132 remains the only active step dart in service with citybus.

  3. Thanks for that information - 132 is used on various contract services, e.g. Tesco/ASDA free shopper buses and is used on school runs, mainly the 115.
