Summary edit

Description

Here are two nice old Olympians in Salisbury Bus Station, operated by Wilts & Dorset. On the left TIL6726 is an older Leyland from 1989/ 1990 with Leyland bodywork. On the right is a considerably later Volvo Olympian with Northern Counties Palatine bodywork- R752GDL. This dates from 1997.

Both come from the Isle of White, and were displaced a few years ago by new Scania Omnicities. 4726 was formerly G726XDL originally, and I believe is the oldest W & D bus in Salisbury, if not in all their network.

Won't be able to see this scene for much longer. The bus station is due to close sometime soon (originally spring 2013) and as both these buses are step entrance, they have to be withdrawn by 2017, although I'm not sure if Go Ahead will hang on to them for that long...
