(26 Feb 2016, 8:04 pm)South Tyne Lad There not shot, Some of them still run quite pleasantly after having a life in London then the X21 for 3 years. 6040 is excellent.
The B7TLs will more likely replace the remaining Tridents and Olympians with the Tridents going to smaller operators without GNE bearing the coast to modify them to DDA.
Trust me, they're shot. Some of them spend more time on the pits at Chester-le-Street than they do in service. I imagine further cascades from Brighton & Hove, should they release more OmniDekkas, will allow the withdrawal of the Lolynes and Olympians. I think the Olympians and Lolynes will go for scrap, and then Presidents will be sold on to independents, as they're DDA-compliant, to allow them to get rid of some of their non-DDA compliant vehicles.
