Richard, im just back from the Falls and apart from what should be there, 3 old friends have returned. 2490 and 2497 are both in the back yard in very poor shape. Several windows are missing in both vehicles as are all the lights, and the panels will all probably need replaced. 2490 still has '49 City Centre via Carlisle Circus' on the canopy. Another is 2505 which is in the paint shed, so must be in road worthy condition. A point worth noting, is these buses all have the armour plated windscreens. Will these remain? For a high profile service, these may look slightly unwelcoming! Tiger 2626 is being stripped of all salvagable parts and alongside it is Tiger 259, an old Ulsterbus Tour Coach which is being treated likewise. GVS Cityliner 2640 has lost its Seven Up all over ad, similar to SS 2667 which has appeared in traffic in fleet colours. NB Renown 2770 has returned to service following accident repair and PSV. Hope this helps.
