Now Just a Memory (10165)
This shot taken almost six years go following its repaint into Olympia livery. It returned to service at the time repainted but with its old branding still evident for a while. By the time it was withdrawn it was in need of an external repaint but as plans for its withdrawal were on the cards a year ago any proposal to outshop it in the new green local livery would have been dismissed. Whilst mechanically sound (it passed its MOT with flying colours) and in good shape inside. i would have been too costly to upgrade to meet forthcoming LEZ requirements in Aberdeen.
Seen here on the 27 in 2015, by the end the Volvo artics were confined to the Bridges 1 and 2 and until the schools moved to online learning, Lochside Academy runs.
