You would ideally need to travel to Paris to see any volvo citybuses still with their original owner in 2019. A close second is H178GTT which was new to Plymouth citybus as a high spec semi coach in 1991. It still operates in its home city albeit with a different owner, still looking very smart.

A97KUM a former WYPTE / Yorkshire Rider Roe Leyland Olympian paused briefly at Rawdon Cross Roads. It has been a while since a Roe Olympian stopped here ! Plenty have done though in the period after April 1990 through to when the final ones were withdrawn by firstgroup. This was a lucky example to escape scrap, randomly chosen to leave the fleet early, sourced for a organisation who had received funding for outreach work in the North East. 37 years old and yes it has a sedate pace and wont hurry for anyone but in return it holds the road like range rover, absorbs every imperfection with beautiful suspension and does exactly as asked. Now converted to semi auto...it is simply a joy to drive.

Taylors always looked smart after paint and they did build up loyalty on all parts of the city, not just the traditional Morley sector. Here NAT343M takes its hour lunch break at Coldcoats circus, Gipton, the driver lived just over the road conveniently !
