(01 Jan 2017, 6:13 pm)MurdnunoC Nah. Olympians could have feasibly showed up on any route without height restriction. If one showed up on you local route tomorrow then it might be considered a contender for next year.


Meh. It was just a Volvo and not a proper Leyland Olympian. You're not missing much.

On that basis, can I count Sapphire 7 E400 on service 12 which has a low bridge (was removed before it came to that!) https://flic.kr/p/MRfTh7

Surely this late contender counts as well, with it being a depot loan: https://flic.kr/p/QJfmir

Also Scarlet Band's Durham Park and Ride Solo SR on the 33 was a unexpected sighting: https://flic.kr/p/GxSjTr

Oh and seeing as this is the Stagecarriage thread: https://flic.kr/p/NbHfym


Oh, and I most certainly agree that it has to be a Leyland Olympian rather than a Volvo, my Facebook feed was filled with endless photos of Volvo Olympian's yesterday.

Nope. If the bridge had been removed then its just a normal rare working. However, if the bus had been diverted to accommodate the allocation then yes, that would have been a major contender.

Jimmi Surely this late contender counts as well, with it being a depot loan: https://flic.kr/p/QJfmir

While it is a rare working, loans between Arriva depots happen every now and then. I guess it would depend on the length of the loan and the board it was working.

Jimmi Also Scarlet Band's Durham Park and Ride Solo SR on the 33 was a unexpected sighting: https://flic.kr/p/GxSjTr

Unexpected, perhaps. But rare? I can't imagine Scarlet Band's fleet to be that big.

Yeah we used it up until Wednesday morning and then it left us yesterday lunchtime for a new life with a dance group in Manchester. 24 has departed to J&C Coaches although I understand it's due to be converted into a bar at a trampoline place up their way in Aycliffe.

That one was sold as it was seatbelted and not really much use on our school work due to vandalism... we'll replace it with another soon though I'm sure.

Service 82 between Thornaby and Yarm is to be withdrawn, it's cancelled on VOSA in effect from August 19th 2017, presumably meaning the last day of operation will be August 17th 2017.
