The Neoplans are gradually fading from the 726, with these Astromegas taking over. So far I believe seven are in service. Former Stagecoach 50224 is seen in Portlaoise prior to working the 1330 to Dublin Airport. Whether the operator will maintain them to avoid the service deteriorating back to the levels the Neoplans dropped to remians to be seen.
New to Thames Trasnsit for Oxford Tube work, the former OU59AUX also spent time on Megabus workings and with Western Scottish, also carrying former Routemaster plate WLT809.
