Lay-up and redeployment of Volvo Olympians (Part 1)

The main problems are whether there are faulty mechanical parts in the 2 de-registered Olympians, otherwise SBS9341H shouldn't be laid-up and gone just like that.
I've asked the BCs that drove them bef and they said that the bus had it's chassis and hydraulics damaged...
Can't fix it due to the unavailability of parts
More buses gone jyst like that

I feel more batch 1 Volvo Olympians 3 axles doing the JIS for the next few years. -
It seems like we won't get to use this thread until 10 months later, is there any side topics for this thread to go on?

As expected that they will transfer the older buses to JIS...

Lately many Volvo Olympian 2-Axle are becoming spares...they maybe laid up anytime.

Rare cameos are extremely rare nowdays...I still remembered some NAC Volvo Olympians doing the current service 241 in 2010/2011.

Hope that all VO2X and VO3X Batch 1 deregistered early,So left with only Batch 2/3 and Striders/DM3500s till end of 2014
