The D reg ones originally came to Skem for school contracts, along with a couple of H-GEV olympians. They may have escaped onto public service the odd time but that seemed to be on very rare occasions.

I do remember quite often the rail olympians would make it out in peak time for some extras, usually giving free rides due to the lack of ticketing equipt!

F268 - 9 - 70YTJ where rail buses. If you remember they had branding, and no rear windows, and the place vultron was coverd over. They'd go on peak 471's etc, giving a free ride.

They all saw public service at LS at some point Andy, like I said they'd occasionaly end up out in rush hour when they where short, with a route number card in the window and no ticket machine. I didnt say they ever saw regular service.

A sad incident indeed:-

It would appear from a picture on Click that it is an Enviro involved.

Thoughts with all involved.
