RE: Go North East - Latest
I'm gonna miss the Volvo Olympian Paletine 2 these vehicles were power horses and beasts they very rarely broke down i was 8 years old when these were new in 1998 now am 23 it is gonna be a sad loss to see them go these were a thrill to ride my favorite is 3827 when these were originally allocated to the then South Shields depot i used to get them on 527 and 532 and they did a good job and replaced some power horses previously used on that route which was my favorite at the time Leyland Olympains then the Volvo Olympian Paletine 2 became my favourite deckers despite being high floor they still are the best even after withdrawal so sad there going but what there gonna replace them with more London castoffs they will never be good as the olympians
