Is 34104 on loan? My mate said he saw an Olympian in Bury yesterday, possibly on the 471.

6 oldham B7s have moved to Bury as replacements for the 13 plate eclipse 2s which went to Bradford

I presume it's going purple, but it would be interesting if there was a Citaro in a heritage livery.

Couldn't say 34104 seem to be staying around at BN as cover mostly schools but 34104 has been on the 575s lots, it may well go purple. And yes id agree a citaro in heritage would be interesting

Yesterday Oldham Depot had one Olympian each on 59 & 83 services, the one on 59 I spotted yesterday morning heading Oldham bound through Rhodes while I was on a rather late 64 10:32 Middleton-Shudehill service (it arrived in Middleton at 10:55).

The Olympian on 83 I spotted at about 17:40 last night while I was sat in the horrendous traffic jam on Lever Street last night on 17:37 182, it left on time but took 20mins just to get to the top of Lever Street and onto Oldham as traffic on Great Ancoats Street was that bad and incorrectly phased traffic lights meant when Lever Street lights were on green there was generally a vehicle on Great Ancoats Street making the left turn from Lever Street onto Great Ancoats Street difficult

Oldham depot had 3 Olympians out on Saturday, not sure what route one of them was but one was on the 181 and another was on the 184 to/from Huddersfield.
