G16/G18 WMS, short Alexander bodied Olympians, came from Northern where they were 3676/7 G676/7 TCN - G16 had been a Sunderland vehicle and possibly in Wear Buses livery once, don't know about G18. G18 stayed in Northern red/blue whilst at Weardale and was a heap of s**t; I had it up dale on the Cowshill run in winter 2009/10 because they said it was tatty and didn't matter if it got battered in the ice and snow. G16, in Weardale colours, which I had for two years was a lovely bus, my favourite vehicle ever, but then they sent it to Consett. But that's now been scrapped .... I should have bought it for preservation.
