I wonder if this is a Voith 4 speed box installed?
EDIT: silly me, i see the ZF logo on it!

Also, the headroom is a lot lower on both decks compared the B9TL to the B10TL!
I couldnt stand  ...

Really, until now, all B9TL's of the KMB's
fleet are ZF 6HP592C transmissions as ZF
first sixth-gear fully-automatic transmission
in the world. KMB took part in this project.

On the other hand, I searched the news
from the other UK bus website, someone
spoke that Volvo will make the production
line for the 2-axle version of B9TL to replace
B7TL. (Notice : It's not confirmed.)

To Edward: the 4 buses for route 882 school bus all come from the reserve stock that Stagecoach imported to the Uk a few years ago. not all of them entered service- to this very day. no condors were bought by Stagecoach; NWFB sold some DAs to Ensign in the UK, and so far only ex DA5 was sold for further operation.

Height of the AVW and the B9 at duxford: I do not think that there is any difference there. same dimensions. as the electornic blinds appear to be identical to the AVWs, I could not see any *EXTERNAL* differences between the B7[AVW] and B9.

Yoram.

It is known that DA1 was also sold (now G310FWC)

yes, it is used on route 882 twice a day, during school terms. it is also used on football specials route called 'X1' when Rugby is playing.

These Olympians are also used on the 887 to Great Barr and 892 to Coleshill which are operated by Stagecoach in Warwickshire.

I just want to know , did any Magic bus 3BL (ex KMB Olympian) become a school bus over UK?

thank you

Not as far as I'm aware of. Apart from one 135XX and ex-S3BL103, both of
which never went into service, the rest are allocated to Magic Bus work.
