OLYMPIANS SWAN SONG

34822 G122 YEV an Olympian/Alexander RL when at Bury St Edmunds in 2005

As the Olympians fade away gradually within the East Anglia and the First fleets, here's a selection of photo's which graced the Eastern Counties fleet in their prime. Thanks to people who contacted me on the Essex Olympians allocations, Colchester just have 34014/18, while Chelmsford have 34305 and 34314 which is currently out of service while surprisingly 34108 has re entered service at Great Yarmouth.
Ex First Glasgow sent down these early Olympian/ECW in the form of 34357-60 KCG 157Y seen here in the Ipswich garage.

A former mainstay of Ipswich but drifted up to Lowestoft later in life was one of the first Olympians bought by Eastern Counties after privatisation in 1988 was an Northern Counties Leyland Olympian 34823 F103 AVG seen at Norwich Bus Station

Hope that whets the appetite somewhat if the reaction is good i will do another blog.
