To provide these changes Lynx has acquired eight Optare Tempos from Bus Vanin on the Isle of Man,. They are to receive fleet numbers 1 - 8  and are as follows:-

1) KMN-210-L 2) KMN-214-U 3) KMN-215-U     not yet arrived 4) KMN-218-U     now FX12 MUB 5) KMN-219-U     not yet arrived 6) LMN-225-D     not yet arrived 7) LMN-229-H

8) LMN-230-H     away for repaint

No's 2 and 4 have already received the Lynx red colour scheme with the latter to be branded for the new Loop service.

Making way for them will be the withdrawal of nine older Tempos:-

3 - YJ55BKG    7 - YJ56WVA    11 - YJ07VSK    12 - YJ07VSL    13 - YJ07VSM 14 - YJ07VSN 15 - FD54JYA    19 - FD54JYF    30 - MX05ELH

In other news DAF DB250 Gemini 57 - LJ04LEU has been withdrawn for scrap with two new E400 MMCs (68 and 69) expected soon for Coastliner.

I am very grateful to Sam Larke for his help in preparing this report and to 'Reg Vardy' for his photo of four of the new arrivals.
