Also are the ex merseyside olympians still living or have these all died, referring to:

3329
3330
3331
3331

Also is 3360 still alive anywhere or did psv barnsley break it up? Wouldn't be suprised if they did as it was deffo on its v v very last legs when winsford waved goodbye to it. Outta the bunch, 3311/3331 were the best of the ex merseyside gang, thoughts on this folks???

Bit of a photographic update (courtesy of Flickr).

Ex-3329 (R329 WVR) could be a scrapper (been untaxed since June 2013). Fortunately, the future is brighter for some others....

Ex-3330 (R330 WVR) now with Andrews Coaches.....
