my dad and his girlfriend drive for arriva in dewsbury and they say 54 is a bad drive. Interesting I had heard that was not liked by the drivers. It will be interesting to see if that one gets repainted into Interurban |

An UID East Lancs Olympian was under suspended tow South Bound on the M1 between J39 and J38.
It was identical in looks to Arriva Yorkshire 511-521 but given the where it was on the M1 it could have been from the North East or even North West on route to the Barnsley Crematorium.

Meanwhile AY 511 (the one with the defective gearbox) is currently being repaired at Belle Isle with another example parked next to it. Both have the yellow NFS stickers in the windscreen. M698HPF (ex AY 515 ??) has been repainted in full Tees Valley Stagecarriage livery by AY and is currently parked at Belle Isle. Penfold |

Penfold Looks like Arriva Yorkshire get a better price for their examples than the North East, selling for further use must be more rewarding than the prices from Barnsley |

It is possible the Olympian I saw last week Southbound on the M1 was a Arriva Yorkshire example if it left Belle Isle towards Wakefield it would have to go to the motorway via Dewbury Road, under suspended tow it wouldn't pass under the low railway bridge on Denby Dale road at Thornes.
