They would've only been 3 year or so old at the time so definitely not 'old'. 

Was the old Leyland Olympians I believe now. Too foggy to say for sure can just remember them being before the A000XXX played which is 1985 or thereabouts I believe.

Oh I see what you mean now . I was mentioning the Palatine II's as Blyth did operate some 1994 coach seatted Cummins L10 examples (ex Hexham) around 2000-2001 before getting the ex Merseyside Leyland Olympians.
