9500 JHU899X was in preservation when this shot was taken on a run out to Brookthorpe as part of the excellent Stroud running day on 11/06/06. The owner has sold the bus to Cotswold Green for futher service as a school bus, but hopefully it will come back into preservation in the future.

9539 NTC138Y is captured near the very end of its life in Hartcliffe on the 75.

9541 NTC140Y is seen in Portland working the Tuesdays only Market Bus service- a true bargain of nearly an hour of heritage Olympian ride for just £1- much of this up very challenging hills!

9542 NTC141Y is one of the Weymouth based Roe Olympians, it is captured here in the Southampton depot on 05/01/2008.

9552 A952SAE wears the Bristol Tramways Company heritage livery and is seen in action on route 70. This Olympian is now owned by a local enthusiast.

9554 A954SAE is the first of the Bristol Omnibus Olympians to enter preservation. Oddly the buyer thinks he has a "Bristol B45".....

9554 A954SAE is a fine example of the Leyland Olympian in preservation, this bus was the final Bristol manufactured chassis for service in Bristol.
