| Following the significant success in launching the new casting of the Alexander "Royale"-bodied Volvo Olympian to the former Singapore Bus Services (SBS) specification in the livery of Metroline, Creative Master Northcord Limited is releasing a second livery - ukbus 4009 in First Pennine red and yellow colours. ukbus 4009 has a brand new combination for the ukbus 4000 series casting, with single entrance doors, front staircase and rounded gasket windows, as well as the headlights and indicators to the Singapore Bus Services style. What makes this single-door body significant is the method of the conversion that leaves large window pillars either side of the new window where the exit doors were fitted originally. First Pennine was the original operator of Volvo Olympian registered K174 EUX following its importation from Singapore in 1999. K174 EUX, nowadays carrying First's national fleetnumber 30107, originated in the Singapore Bus Services as SBS 7204J where it had entered service in 1994. ukbus 4009 is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the gasket windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on the ukbus 4009 model is its new window and interior modification (with the fitted luggage pen) at the position of the original rear door. It is one of the significant achievements on this new casting. The rounded headlight and indicator units at the front are made of individual components to look more realistic. The brand new single-door Alexander Royale Volvo Olympian ukbus 4009 model is limited to 1400 pieces worldwide. |
