 Most NBC Olympians had ECW bodies, but London Country had Roe examples. A number were still in service with their London Country successor in 2002. This example made its way to Jeffs of Helmdon by way of Oxford's Wycombe Bus subsidiary and is seen here at SHOWBUS international 2001. |
There was some movement between Blazefield's Yorkshire based fleets and the Sovereign fleets in the London area, but not a lot. Older vehicles are the ones that move, and typically south to north. So this Leyland Olympian, which used to be in the LR class of London Country Bus Services and ended up with Sovereign via London Country North East has travelled north to Keighley. The bodywork is by the appropriate Yorkshire firm of Roe.

Very temporary residents in Wycombe were a small batch of ex London Country LR class Roe bodied highbridge Olympians, which were around for most of 1999, until replaced by Alexander bodied examples cascaded from Oxford. 979 (TPD121X), formerly LR21, is about to perform the late afternoon short working from Marlow back to Wycombe on the 329.

 London Country LR45 (A145DPE) a Roe bodied Olympian is seen in Edinburgh in July 2005. Edinburgh is one of the few places where Guide Friday still retains its full identity, albeit with the lighter green livery. |
