L.eyland has already plied Northern Counties bodied Olympians to the independent South Yorkshire Road Transport business, and built an ECW-bodied Olympian coach which was exhibited at last year's Motor Show, painted in the colours of Ebdon's Coaches, of Sidcup.
But the coach is still undergoing modifications at Leyland and has yet to be sold, probably to another operator.
