Arriva 'Wardles' Happenings

[Ashley 4569]

Was told a few days ago that the Olympians at Wardies are being replaced by DAF DB250///Alexander ALX400s. The tri axle Leylands have already departed I believe

There are 3 wardles deckers parked up at Cannock

Are they volvo olympians?

[covlad27]

The 3 tri axle leyland ollys are parked up in cannock withdrawn and are going to be sold shortly

The three tri axles have been sold and must just be awaiting collections.

There was a volvo olympian knocking about in newcastle bus station this morning.

Also, Trident 4895 has now been branded for the X50

"stripped ready for exit". I presume for a repaint, but I am wondering if they might be transferred out afterwards with that caption


Just a general thread for Wardles, like the Cannock and Wednesfield ones

I think these two are owned by Stoke on Trent City Council so could be being returned to them for re-sale

I was sort of guessing what their fate was to be honest John. I just knew Wardies don't own some of their Versa fleet
