D502 LNA: A Big Orange Lynx is a Lemon

Not a particularly juicy one though and I wonder how effective the wipers were on this Lynx when one side was wrapped around the front pillar. After Greater Manchester was split into two and sold off it is interesting to see how they fared. As usual Stagecoach modernised with ruthless efficiency but for the enthusiast at least First was the most interesting as older types bellowed  and rattled on in various shades of orange or grey. 1402 from Bolton was at the end of it's long run to Manchester Airport on what is now the car park for Terminal One, somewhere most days I had to hurry in and out of in ten-minutes flat otherwise my employer had to pay. Obviously Greater Manchester was not smitten with this bus realising it was something of a lemon and only bought a trial batch of five buses.
