Ah brill, it'll be nice to see a healthy number of Myllenniums back for a few months then.
I'll be glad to see the back of those Presidents - the leg room on some seats is awful.
2435 has been withdrawn due to chassis rot.
Good old chassis rot , now when did we last hear that being bandied about Laird street vehicles , I know the Laird Street Cross River Palatines.

The Palatines were heavier than the standard Olympian, with having double glazing and DP seats, not to mention the fact cement was used when new to strengthen the chassis. Poor maintenance doesn't help, such as buses not being steam cleaned or being kept in a shed.
Don't forget Volvo Olympians are well known to rot anyway!
What's the next Cadet to be withdrawn I wonder?
Just as a update what cadets are withdrawn now 2453, 2454 and 2455 are here
2428 & 2435 have been withdrawn.
Wright Pulsar 2 3009 was out on 432/437 Lates!
