Anyone have any idea of the launches for TheCastle Express yet?

Can I add to the recommendation to ride the AD122? - even if you just stay on for the round trip - though best to choose a day when it's not typical Steel Rigg weather (it usually manages to snow whenever we take visitors there).
It must have been a challenging life for the Centurions, dressed in short skirts and sandals.

(26 Feb 2016, 7:59 pm)R852 PRG Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they're directly withdrawn. They're 16 years old now anyway, which is their average shelf life, not to mention they're shot to pieces. I imagine they'd sell quite quickly, should they move on from the fleet, as low-floor deckers must be in high demand for independents who are looking to get rid of high-floor Olympians.

(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.

(26 Feb 2016, 8:11 pm)R852 PRG 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.
