(26 Feb 2014, 6:24 pm)Arcticrossy92 Two SPD's there as well, havent they been scrapping these, rather than selling them ?

They've been doing whatever gets the biggest sale value. If scrapping them gets more than an offer from someone else, that's what will happen.

Ensignbus purchased 513 but sold it en-route... Now somewhere in Barnsley...

(09 Oct 2013, 11:10 am)Terence Price I remember someone asking me what Go North East Buses are still in Service with JPT Travel of Manchester, i done some digging around and i found 4 Buses

511 P821 SGP Volvo Olympian 50 Northern Counties Palatine H47/29F 1996 Go Ahead North East, 2011

512 P825 SGP Volvo Olympian 50 Northern Counties Palatine H47/29F 1996 Go Ahead North East, 2011

513 P822 SGP Volvo Olympian 50 Northern Counties Palatine H47/29F 1996 Go Ahead North East, 2011

514 P819 SGP Volvo Olympian 50 Northern Counties Palatine H47/29F 1996 Go Ahead North East, 2012

All 4 of these Buses are on Front Line service.

Just to go back to this Post, 511 has at last been scrapped, 514 has been withdrawn for a while now so should follow soon, 512 and 513 fight on in service, seen 513 in fact on my last visit to Manchester on Thursday!

Thought I had seen an ex GNE vehicle this afternoon in Sleaford...

An Rxxx LGH Olympian was on scholars duties, but as I approached it, I realised what was up.

Working for 'Tourist', R383 LGH may have been registered in the same batch as the GNE lot, but rather than have the Palatine body, it had the Palatine II body, associated with the Sxxx OFT or Sxxx FVK Olympians.
