Southern National acquired Roe-bodied Olympians UWW 9 & 10X from West Yorkshire PTE in March 1987.

 

509 (UWW 9X) was painted into this allover advertising livery for 'Goadsby & Harding' in March 1994.

 

Both were sold for further use on the Isle of Man in March 1996. Both later returned to the UK and entered service with Williams, Oadby, Leicestershire.

I have been informed that 5026 was the last Roe Olympian and 5149 was the last Optare Olympian.

 

Paul The Above Statement Is Correct For Leeds.

Bradford Halifax And Huddersfield Still Have Roe Olympians Bradford Have 3 Optares 5146/8/50

I understand that there are no longer any former WYPTE Roe/Optare Olympians left in service with First West Yorkshire - is that right?

 

Which one was the last one to go?

 

I stopped subscribing to the Metro Transport News some time ago as I could not keep track of all the new fleet numbers!

 

Cheers

Found a few links online which may be of use to others:

VOSA site:
http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosa/hgvpsvdrivers/tachographsanddrivershours/eudriversho\
ursandtachographrulesforroadpassengervehiclesfaq.htm

Note that a tachograph is required (under EU rules) for any passenger vehicle
with 10 or more seats going on international journeys, except that for journeys
wholly within the UK tachographs are only required on vehicles with 18 or more
seats.  It does recommend that a tacho is used as good practice though.  Note
that where EU rules do not apply then the domestic rules do (linked from the
above).

Tachograph fitment exemption:

The Community Drivers' Hours and Recording Equipment (Exemptions and
Supplementary Provisions) (Amendment) Regulations 1988 (statutory instrument
1988 No 760) can be found at
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1988/Uksi_19880760_en_1.htm

As is probably well known, these regulations permit a vehicle more than 25 years
old, being used in connection with a rally or similar event, not carrying more
than 9 persons including the driver, and not used for profit, to be exempted
from the requirement to operate a tachograph, though not from the requirement to
comply with drivers' hours regulations.

Hope this is useful.

Regards

Hi Steve/James,

Thanks for posting the link to your photos in the Links section Steve
- no problems!

However, I'd rather the individual pics were not posted into the
photos section as most if not all of the vechicles shown did not
operate with the WYPTE.

If either of you guys (or anyone else for that matter) have got any
good pics of buses in WYPTE livery, please feel free to post them!

All the best
Paul

Lets see what Paul's verdict is, but Leeds 106 was WYPTE/Rider 9309 (First
90060) and the dual door ex-London thingies are the nearest we will ever get to
the LCT jumbo Atlanteans!

Hi all,

Nice to see an internet group started for what is possibly the most
neglected PTE in preservation.

Together with two friends, our group owns (or is involved with) ten
preserved WYPTE buses - details on http://www.typg.org.uk

Anyone wanting to see some of the collection is warmly invited to
attend the Meadowhall event on Sun 10th September when maybe 3 WYPTE
vehicles will be in attendance... anyone who can't wait until then
can go to Crich today, tomorrow or Monday where the sexiest Bristol
LH in preservation is on a weekend away.

May I also draw peoples' attention to the 'fate' list at
http://www.typg.org.uk/fate.xls (MS Excel spreadsheet format) which
gives details of most WYPTE vehicles and their 'fate' - there are a
few coaches which have been re-registered of which details are not
known: 1401-1404, 1408, 1409, 1418, 1422-1424, 1505, 1508, 1513,
1514, 1516, 1524, 1601, 1602, 1609, 1611, 1612 & 1617-1620, and also
olympian 5072 (is/was Stagecoach 14278).

Cheers



James
