That's fine DMN, order confirmed.

We would also like to enquire with Optare over the possibility of the Optare Olympus orders, not on the catalogue. If they remain available, what would the cost be per vehicle. This type is under consideration for the replacement of older IOM based vehicles, and if they are available, could we use a demonstrator?.

Thanks!

They are available in limited numbers, the cost of each vehicle would be around £120,000 each.

A demonstrator can be made available if you so wish, which chassis would you like?

We are looking either Volvo B9TL or Optares own, if it is possible we would like to have a short trial of each to make the decision?!

That's fine DMN, I'll get some one demonstrator of each to you by the end of the week!

Cheers!

After a three day trial of each chassis we have decieded on Volvo B9TL Chassis for the Optare Olympus. We would like to order 9 for the Isle of Man, and 10 for Northern Link. All painted in standard Livery, with Hanover LED screens. We would prefer them to be delivered in April-May. These should cost £120,000 a piece, £2,280,000. Registrations below:
IOM Vehicles: KMN 610/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8N
Northern Link Vehicles: MX12 NNA/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/J/K

Also preferable delivery dates for the second order of Versas:
