RE: Commonwealth Games 2014 - Vehicle List - S813 FVK - 22 Jul 2014
(22 Jul 2014, 11:49 am)GMitchelhill I disliked the Volvo Olympians with the N-C Palatine 1 body. Always prefered the curves of the Palatine 2.
Cant fault them on their engines though (well, the Ex-London ones). Cracking things when it comes to a bank.

The ex London ones were terrible, I liked the ones Arriva had I often would ride them on Service 84 from Bishop Auckland to Darlington, I liked them on the X66, X24 and for a brief time I got to ride them to college on service 7. I also managed two trips on 7367 operating service X61 from Aycliffe to Scarborough and back. Shame they've had to be withdrawn.

When 3910 and 3915 were reinstated at Stanley they dominated the Palatine 2s on Maiden Law/Howdon Bank when they did Scholars services. They went like it was on the flat still!

Although I am unable to provide fleet numbers as I didn't catch up with any yesterday, I am told that a number of new Lothian Volvo 7900Hs have gone to Glasgow to provide transport for shuttle services.
As some of the only single deckers providing transport, I am not sure if they will be staying the entire duration of the Games or not.
