Sadly this bus was finally withdrawn on 8th September 2007, but has at least been secured for preservation.

577 still survives i have been working on her today with her loving owner its part stripped and is not long away from having its West Ridding livery reapplied. She goes and sounds just like she should and maybe returning to the rd,s at the end of this summer/year.

Never seen an Olympian (or Titan come to think of it) with the Hydrayclic box being driven like that. Normally the drivers seem to bung it in top and go off that way.

I meant using the "Hydracyclic" function of the 'box, driving as a fully auto, unless this was never fitted with one from the start?!?

Sorry, I didn't realise what I though was top gear was actually "Drive". I've only driven Nationals and atlanteans with the "Normal" semi Auto!

we still got 1 at our depot (Darlington) 7271:L721FVN. Not sure when it is being withdrawn but it will be before 2009 i'm told by the ADM. Mechanically its in fine shape, but the internal floor and roof leave something to be desired (smells of mildew).
