Crocks corner (1)
One from last year here...
The far corner of the RTCR Lagord depot seems to be the place where vehicles with no further useful purpose get dumped until the time comes when they meet their maker. In 2015, the occupant of this corner was Heuliez GX317 low-floor no. 521, new to the fleet in 2001. I think of this as a relatively young bus, however it's easy to overlook the fact that it is fourteen years old. Clearly I'm just getting on a bit. 20 of its kind had already passed through the fleet and departed before this one.
521 is clearly not going to see further service - the inscription written on the windscreen translates as "withdrawn wreck". It has been reduced to the status of spare parts bank for the surviving members of its type.
