www.flickr.com/photos/dodger5450/7811283588/in/set-72157630367758700/The link is of Tracky Olympian 669 in X90 branded Fastline livery while on an X90 run. This bus eventually received the FastLink style coach seats. Does anyone know when this was? I used to ride this bus a lot as a kid, and it was one of my 2 favorate Tracky Olympians along with 622. If I saw this bus I would make sure to make excuses to my calling friends and get on it later that day. Now, I don't remember this bus being in FastLink livery. I could be wrong, it may have for a time, but it definately run around with the coach seats and standard livery for quite some time. I am unsure as I was around 8-10 years old and just cant remember. If it didn't get the FastLink livery, what was the purpose of the coach seats? A changed plan? Also, was it ever based outsite Rawmarsh depot? Cheers.

Well, it did carry FastLink for certain!
It was delivered in either standard NBC or this livery (I'm not too sure). Suspect standard NBC with the X90 lettering added later. It gained Fast Link livery in early to mid 1988. In the summer of 1994 it was painted into standard red/white livery. I don't remember when it gained, or indeed lost it's FastLink seats I'm afraid.
I believe it was based at Rawmarsh for the majority of time that it wore FL colours.
