(28 Oct 2016, 7:22 pm)C522LJR wrote I'm pleased to report that Volvo B10BLE 4897 V987ETN, which was withdrawn a few days ago, has been purchased for preservation. The bus has been earmarked for preservation for some time, and I ultimately hope to restore it to it's original 765/766 livery which it wore when new.
It's pictured here at Saltmeadows this morning.
Well I for one am overjoyed that you have saved 4897. Also 4855 is now not going to be regarded as A white elephant by some who say the type is far to new to be saved.
