Stagecoach East Midlands/
Volvo Olympian / Alexander RH #16136
30 january 2014 - Melville Street, Lincoln. Social club buildings are now a rare sight, especially in the south of the UK. Therefore it was a pleasant surprise to see such a building still in good repair on a visit north, though I am not sure if it is still used as originally intended. Either way, it makes for a pleasant backdrop to another rapidly declining british tradition: the Olympian double decker, now being replaced by low-floor vehicles which will be mandatory from 2017.

Volvo Olympian / Alexander RH #16143
30 january 2014 - Lindum Road, Lincoln. As these vehicles are not compliant with Disability Discrimination Act regulations, they are now becoming a rare sight before they are outlawed from regular bus services completely in 2017. As replacements and newer outcasts from London flood the country, sights like this are becoming rare. There is a concentration of these vehicles in Lincolnshire, but investment is apace among the single deck fleet, so I suspect these have little time left now.
