Alrite Treacle If this rumour about getting rid of more Volvos is true, I bet it will not be the CityBuses that go. One Olympian has gone to Tamworth, wouldnt be suprised if N.P and R reg Olympians are on the move along with the 2 V plate singles. Wouldnt be suprised if Arriva does not cocentrate Excels into Derby, reflective of concentraing all Lynxs to Crewe. ian [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
