Just drove by the garage and saw all the olympians were out, so I was thinking where they might be.I saw 3336 on the 43/46s earlier.

I think that all the destinations have been added at a later date. It is now possible to display (at least it is on 3319) Ormskirk on the upper blind and SOUTHPORT on the lower blind.

Thanks- anyone have any more palatine photos?

Are the two Green Lane loanees still working out of Canning Road and if so, does anybody know what they're seeing most service on? Thanks in advance.

They're still here and seeing service on all of our routes. Yesterday 2551 was on 47/48A and 2675 was on 375/385. 2551 has also seen service on the 49 and 2675 on the 43/6.

They were brought in to provide cover for the Kew Park & Ride so that newer vehicles could work that.
