What happened to the AMPM olympians? Did they get sold on for further use? I know the two L reg Palatines went to archway travel in lancashire, one is now being cannabalised, the other is a school bus with a surround sound stereo system

Does anyone on this forum know what the registration number of the fourth MAN 14.220 MCV Evolution bus that AMPM had was. I am sure that i remember hearing that AMPM had four of these buses but on the fleet list that @Tony has on the main site it only lists three of them (AE56 UTH / AE56 UTJ / AE56 UTK - all of which are now with Autocar who are based in Five Oak Green and operate in Sussex and Kent) but not the fourth one. At a guess i would say that it could have been AE56 OUV but i am not really that sure. Thank you.

Don't know the reg as it had trade plates on when it arrived but broke down on our drive so never entered service and was towed away 2 days later.

@Steveminor - Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Do you know what happened to this MAN 14.220 MCV Evolution bus after it got towed away. Did it get repaired or did it get scrapped. Thank you.

Why would you scrap a 9 year old bus (at time of writing) which was DDA simply because it broke down...

And owned by a large leasing company with the money and the contractors to fix it

@Tony @T840MAK - I have known some bus operators to scrap even newer buses just because they have broken down instead of repairing them.

Name one that has scrapped a 4 year old bus because it has broken down! we are referring to a 2006 built bus in 2010, and as I pointed out in my original reply it did not belong to the operator anyway to make the decision

Something for you to do @countryliner, let us know the operators and vehicles concerned. Otherwise, as they say, you appear to be talking a load of twaddle.

Well there is one from the same batch in Alan Hardwick scrap yard in several pieces so yes they do get scrapped so not such a stupid comment by @countryliner really

Now, yes, but not 6 years ago, and not because it's broken down
