The Renault PR 180.2 articulated buses that have been retired and decommissioned have been replaced with new Scania K360UA articulated buses and are awaiting disposal.

Of the remaining 22 buses that are not in service:

- eight are Dennis Darts which have insufficient carrying capacity

- 14 are Renault PR100.2 which are older style buses that are not wheelchair accessible or have modern facilities, i.e. air conditioning.

These not in service buses are being decommissioned as newer fleet vehicles come on line.
