Are these beasts still being used in regular service? We used to have loads round Rotherham & Sheffield but they got replaced by Dennis Dominators & they got replaced by Volvo B7 double deckers.

For now they do appear on the peak time services from Birmingham, but I don't think they will be appearing as regulars before too long, have heard that they are getting replaced.
