Former London Volvo B7TL-Gemini VLW7-20 are due for Arriva Midlands after the Olympics or Paralympics.

Do we know whether these are destined for Leicester? If so and bearing in mind the 10 or so extra DAF double-deckers there must be more than the handful of Olympians to be withdrawn. Problem is the next oldest DDs are newer than the 'new' vehicles arriving!

Some are going into Leicester to replace the remaining Olympians (only a couple i think) and 4 VDL SB200's which will move to Shrewsbury to replace the Scania paladins on the 64/164's to Newcastle and Hanley. Others are destined for Burton on Trent i believe.
