The Last Roe Olympian 30537 is being withdrawn upon expiry of its MOT on 14th Feb so unless it suffers a failure before then its planned to run it on the 70 Centre - UWE on Saturday 9th Feb. (Grab it while you can).
Feb 9th - Update - a glorious day the sun was out clear blue skies 30537 had its front end partially repainted to tidy it up it ran well on the trip that i made on it from UWE - Centre but during one of its trips it developed a fault where by the bell kept on ringing which meant the bell push strip didnt work properly so after a driver change during its 3rd run (11:40 from the Centre) it was swapped over for former Uxbridge 34050 for the rest of the day.
30537 before departure of the 11:40 to UWE.

There seems to be some confusion over the regs of 23201-4 they were originally given as YN04YHW-Z but they are actually YN04YHY/W/X/Z
23201 YN04YHY.
