Have to say, I think it performed pretty well on the route, seemed to not too bad at getting up the hills round Robin Hoods Bay, a definite improvement on the Volvo B7's. There was a few interior rattles but other than that it was a nice place to be I thought, just a pity that if we do get them they'll be MAX'd meaning the fabric seating which I thought was quite comfortable will be replaced with e-leather which isn't as comfortable. I should stress that it was a rather quiet journey with light passengers loadings, so the performance may differ in the summer with higher loads on-board.
I hope we do get these, think they'd be a welcome addition to the summer X93's and X20's.

I should point out that these Olympus were actually new with Leather Seats and were retrimmed back in 2012 not long after they moved onto the 202/203.
