Withdrawn Optare Delta 124 has now been stripped for disposal. New in 1991, 124 was refurbished in Spring 2000 and was repainted into the early mustard/yellow/grey pool livery in April 2001 ready for the new network launch at the end of that month. In January 2006 it gained the later black/yellow livery and in the early hours of 26 September 2009 suffered a wiring loom fire which caused its withdrawal.
After several months in store with various parts cannibalised it is now being stripped prior to disposal for scrap - the fifth Delta to be sold for scrap after 120 in 2003, 131 in 2004, 117 in 2007 and 110 in 2009.
