The new 'Deckers have ZF gearboxes, like 100/101 and 111-114.
The photos referred to are at Read Commercials, Oswaldtwistle

I have found an interesting photo on Flickr taken earlier this year.

It seems one of the Lynxes has managed to survive, hidden at the back of the scrap yard despite it being about 10 years or so since it's withdrawal. I presume this may be one of the last in existence (if there are any others left) due to them being hard/costly to repair.

Looks like Rosso are making changes to the 486 and 495 services from 19 July with the current 495 journeys running between Simister and Prestwich Tesco re-numbered to 90 and the journeys running between Simister and Prestwich Metrolink stop re-numbered 91 and extended to Bury via Whitefield and Radcliffe before following the 486 route into Bury.

I have noticed 208 has been renumbered to 250 but retained it's old livery, I presume this is to group it with 241 - 249 which have the later engine with the earlier version of the bodywork. Got it on the 480 today.

226 and 227 are now also 251 and 252. 241-252 have Euro 4 engines and high backed seating so are now all grouped together.

Does anyone know if any of 100/101 & 103-110 will be out of service either just for summer or withdrawn along with 19-31?

Has any one got any information regarding the disposal of the olympians. Is there any chance any are going to be preserved
