Hello and well to episode 9 of Classic Bus Histories. This episode I delve into the history of the Leyland Olympian or project B45 as it was otherwise known.
I used to love riding the ECW bodied Olympians of Southern Vectis - these were really the only ones I came into contact with until I started driving buses. I was based at Thanet in Kent and we had two contrasting types of Olympians, the native Northern Counties bodied ones with Cummins L10 engines that absolutely flew. Then we had a handful of ex Selkent ECW plodders that took about three days to reach a top speed of 36mph! So there's my memories, what are yours? Did you travel on them or drive them? Or did you spend time under them in a pit?
I hope you enjoy the video. If you do, please like and share as well as subscribe to the channel. This will give you notifications of when I release further bus related videos.
Thanks for watching. Bye for now 👋🏻
