(26 Dec 2015, 8:51 pm)R852 PRG wrote Former Go North East Optare Excels 8180 (T880 RBR) and 8181 (T881 RBR) have been withdrawn from service by Blackpool Transport. Guessing they're not DDA-compliant? Information from Lee Armstrong on the Northern Road Transport Trust Facebook group.From what I can see, T880 RBR and T881 RBR were withdrawn in November although both have apparently returned to service in December. I wonder if this may be just be temporary as the Volvo B7RLE/Plaxton Centro's are being refurbished to Palladium standard (same as the Citaro's). The three ex Go North East plus a few others were converted to DDA in 2013/2014.
