Second hand Olympian
Blackpool Transport were one of several operators keen to avail themselves of West Yorkshire PTEs need to divest themselves of late model Leyland Olympians, and indeed, why wouldn't they be. Here UWW 11X heads towards the promenade circa 1987 ... in days gone by, it would have just passed the front of Blackpool Central railway station. These Olympians looked quite pleasant in Blackpool's green and cream and represented a marked improvement in livery from the then recently used all-over cream. Looking at the picture now however, there appears to be some movement between the dome and the mid deck panel at the front, judging by the aluminium oxide runs from the rivets.
