Citaro 5292 has been purchased for preservation. See: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550237695342

(08 Sep 2023, 8:22 pm)mb134 Wish them the best of luck, imagine it'll be a pretty big task financially given the maintenance cost for Mercs!Yeah, that wouldn't be one I'd want to tackle!
Strange to see something so modern head into preservation, though I guess it really isn't that modern anymore.

(08 Sep 2023, 10:49 pm)Dan 5292 was one of the buses in storage at Chester-le-Street after the depot closed - every bus in storage there had more or less every window smashed, some 600 windows had to be replaced (or buses scrapped as a consequence). Six-figure sum repair bill, thanks to vandalism from mindless youths (and, of course, nothing could be done about it).
GNE cut the windows out of another scrap Citaro to donate to 5292 and allow it to carry on in preservation.

(09 Sep 2023, 7:36 pm)Malarkey So during the period of time CLS was used for storage was the depot not locked up, I recall the maintainance exit had shutters and the main entrance had a gate, did the side entrance closest to the roundabout have gates as it was always open access whenever I passed even on late evenings.
I can't think of any other way the depot would be accessible as the walls were quite high even backing onto the dual carriage way,

It was getting dark, but it was displaying 'County Durham Bus Preservation Trust'.
Can't find owt about them online. Or am I just looking in the wrong place?
