Too young to die... *WITHDRAWN* 711 (AJ58WBD) Metrobus
This time last year, Metrobus MAN 14.240/MCV Evolution 711 (AJ58WBD) was working in service on routes 130 and 359. Now, whilst a few of it's withdrawn sisters are in Cyprus and New Zealand, 711 has instead been dumped right at the corner of Croydon Garage and has had parts removed,
including the engine, to keep other MCV's for route 359 serviceable. This bus will eventually depart for the scrapyard. Such a shame, as it didn't even make it to ten years old.
This picture shows what's left of the engine bay. The main parts have all been removed from the bus to go on other MCV's.
