madannie77 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 http://themunicipals.fotopic.net/p55925562.html 2160 as promised Good stuff. I find it very odd that I have no recollection of 2160 in this livery, but I can remember all the other ones mentioned in this thread. The only bus in this version of the Rotherham livery I can recall was the rather more recent 60596, as seen here http://caroline-mathews.fotopic.net/p59413747.html http://caroline-mathews.fotopic.net/p59435441.html Might as well include the Sheffield Transport liveried one as well: http://caroline-mathews.fotopic.net/p59413746.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a list of them that have been save ( old fleet numbers ex 2214 ) ? Did all of Olive Grove's Doms go to Barnsley for scrapping ? Anymore Sad Pictures ?

Don't know how comprehensive it is, though. I don't really want to see anymore sad pictures. Although I know that the vast majority of buses have to be scrapped, it still upsets me to see photos of them, especially when I am old enough to remember them coming into service!

I know there are some picture of them been scrapped ( link on here ) but it seems to be a rare item to get anymore as I would love to know what happened to the Metrobus Mk2 that FSY had . Im glad so many Domo's were saved. The best Domo I used to drive was 2148 , it had been re-engined and you could get 30mph up the hill on Woodseats Road which was a god send he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
