'ANDY'
L211SBG is a Volvo Olympian new to Liverbus in October 1993. By the time this photo was taken in 2001 at Queen Square Bus Station, the vehicle was in Arriva ownership via the takeover of MTL.
Following sale to Geldards of Leeds a notable Merseyside enthusiast kept an eye on 'Andy', and is now in the process of restoring him to his former glory.
Addendum: Most of you know why L211SBG was named thusly, but for those who don't, Andy Wade was a Liverbus driver who regularly took the bus to rallies far and wide. He died at an early age following a short illness, and the lads at Liverbus named 'his' bus in his honour. The name stuck in MTL Liverbus days, but was nicked in ARRIVA ownership. Replicas were cast, and the plates were still worn in service with Geldards.
