South Shields ADL E300 27733 (NK11 BFZ) sounded awful this morning. It has the same intermittent engine knocking/rattling that 27739 once had, and also has a really bad idle.

In other news, a member of the "Stagecoach Enthusiasts" Facebook Page has said there are rumours that Volvo Olympians 16833 and 16839 will be disposed of at the end of the Football Season - which will be in May.
