(05 Sep 2015, 5:13 pm)S813 FVK I have never really had the chance to ride a Leyland Olympian although i did get to ride some of the Alexander examples Go North East had (3949 etc) and some of the Palatines (3806 especially as it was based at Stanley). Would like a ride on an ECW at some point though.
Fortunately for me there was some round my way although there appearances on my services were very occasional. I also used to stay at Marton Mere Holiday Camp In Blackpool and the 20 used to use Leyland Atlantean's then later became operated by ECW bodied Leyland Olympian's with other Olympian's often standing in. Would love to ride some proper Olympian's again but it's very hard now especially here in the North East.
Did get to ride one B10M (or whatever it was called that Dan was referring to) which was with Oakwood Travel in Blackpool but sadly it was only a short journey on Seafront service 12.
