| Volvo Olympian 34113 W433CWX on a X2 service to Norwich on 18th April 2009 |
The first Volvo Olympian Alexander Royale was withdrawn from service today; 34113 W433CWX was new to Yorkshire Coastliner in June 2000.
First transferred her to the local fleet from First Somerset & Avon in October 2008
It is expected that her sisters in the fleet also face withdrawal soon with some expected to move to driver training duties
Following her repaint, Gemini 37576 AU58EDC re-entered service this afternoon on the X1 shorts between Great Yarmouth and Norwich
Other news to report is that former Jersey Dart 43861 EG52FGJ may require a new engine and that 32201 LT52WTF faces a similar fate
My thanks to Ryan for the latest news
Ah what a shame, I've been told it was only taken out of service yesterday as it requires work for it's upcoming MOT (clearly no point spending money on an old bus).. Sadly, As you say it's sisters will soon be departing which is a shame as I much prefer the Olympians to the Enviros or Geminis when they're on the X1 shorts..
