Slightly sad to see these ex LU / United Transit VPs biting the dust. Although I didn't see them very often I always liked them. Also one of the very long lasting Olympian / Alexanders ex route 253. Hopefully they may get sold on and not have the same fate as some of the other Presidents that went to Ensigns last month as well Looks to be all of those that weren’t repainted Into the UT livery apart from OA332 of course. Sad to see these depart |

Technically were allocated to the 422. When it went to Stagecoach, they stuck around a bit longer as BX refurb floats. |

That might save them from the scrapyard. The Olympian has already found a new home with Meritrule (Oak Coaches?), as listed above. |

CTP OS18 can probably safely be listed as withdrawn seeing as it was mentioned on one of the Vehicles In posts in November
