(01 Feb 2015, 10:38 am)Robert wrote No, as nothing was sent to replace 8329 because those two vehicles werent required anymore hence why they were transferred anyway.

(01 Feb 2015, 5:12 pm)Tom wrote They will probably remain purple until the new Quaylink services start.
Also, I'm gathering a Versa can be used on the 40A too?

(01 Feb 2015, 5:54 pm)Michael wrote I think there was a list on here before but i can't find it.... whats left in the fleet which isnt DDA?
The Olympian's are, but what else?
(01 Feb 2015, 5:58 pm)Dan wrote 67x Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown (to be disposed of prior to 1 January 2016)
10x Volvo Olympian/Northern Counties Palatine 2 (to be disposed of prior to 1 January 2017)
27x Dennis Trident/East Lancs Lolyne (to be disposed of prior to 1 January 2017)
This financial year will see the withdrawal of some of these vehicles. Any single deckers remaining at the end of this financial year will have to be withdrawn in the next financial year instead. One would naturally assume that there will be a staggering number of new vehicles to enter the fleet in 2015 to assist in the withdrawal of the above vehicles.

(01 Feb 2015, 6:09 pm)Michael wrote I hope your being sarcastic!
(01 Feb 2015, 6:06 pm)Tom wrote Really? I think the Lolynes are really nice!
(01 Feb 2015, 6:12 pm)Dan wrote No problem.
Never understood what the fuss has been about on this forum about the Tridents. Pretty poor reliability-wise, but think they provide a decent journey... Prefer them to Volvo B7TLs.
