I thought it was a bit strange to hear that all the Bristol REs and Leopards in Derry had been detaxed for the summer; would Ulsterbus not prefer to use these on all the evening services and risk them being martyred?
There was not a Leopard (or 2306) anywhere to be seen in Downpatrick depot yesterday morning but seeing 145 is the only dual-purpose seated DP Leopard now (in previous years these especially 205 & 206 were always kept in service over summer) and it is 22 1/2 years old maybe they have been all withdrawn for the summer; this would be the first time if it is true.
