From the log books, they were built in 1998 and registered in the UK in 2009.
K2 is a 1997 registeted vehicle.
The 3rd olympian ends up back in the depot between works as the driver has other duties at the moment that sometimes require him to come back to the depot.
3rd Olympian being K2? I know that usually does NDA Scholars work and i know what R6 does but not quite sure what R7 does (thats possibly the bus you are on about then and not K2) although all 3 do go back to depot.
Are you aware of the new buses all being ALX400s? Id like to see some presidents amongst them if im completely honest. I think, although they are rubbish, that it'd be a shame to see the olympians go. It was a shame to see the R--- LGH olympians from GNE go as they went up banks like they weren't even there. Much better in reliability terms.
