Another LAE at Weymouth

Weymouth depot have just received another K---LAE registered Olympian that were all new to Cityline in Bristol - this time K629LAE. This has replaced younger Volvo Olympian 34021 (P541HMP) which has moved in the other direction - now in operation from Camborne.

34629 (K629LAE) has entered into service on school services in Weymouth. I managed to photograph her down in Truro last year - photographed on service X18 from Penzance.
First Hants & Dorset have had two sisters of 34629 - K627LAE and K628LAE. The former has been withdrawn and has since departed the fleet, but K628LAE is still in service at Weymouth. Below are photos illustrating each.

34627 (K627LAE) entered service with a simple Park & Ride blind as the dot matrix display had stopped working. She is seen only a few days after arriving in Dorset, back in September 2009.
34628 (K628LAE) originally entered service at Portswood depot in Southampton, but moved to Weymouth replacing 34627. She is pictured here on Weymouth's town bridge on school route 92 on a lovely summer's afternoon last year.
