Leyland Olympians

NWFB purchased 25 air-conditioned Leyland Olympians from CMB, and they have all been refurbished.

This page contains some photographs of these buses. Please click on them to enlarge.

LA3
LA3 is one of the Leyland Olympians from the first batch(LA1-LA5). It was refurbished in 2001 when it finished its overhaul.
Date: 22/09/2001
The color of the air-conditioner at the back has changed to black after refurbishment.

LA9
One of my most satisfying bus photo.
Date: 05/08/2001
LA10
Leyland Olympians on route 8 have been considered as special sights.
Date: 19/01/2002
LA14
The continuous lights in the compartment makes the bus look extremely bright at night. This bus was serving route M722, and today the route has changed to use Volvo Olympians (VA31-50). Date: 18/01/2002
LA16
Note the special front of the bus.
Date: 28/04/2003
LA17
The newly-repainted LA17 standing in drizzles.
Date: 16/06/2003
Offside of LA17. LED rearlights have already been installed.
Date: 16/06/2003
LA19
The route 722 has been ceased to exist, but as the old buses cannot display 4 characters of numbers at a time, it still displays 722 with a board indicating that the bus is on route M722.
