Olympian and Fleetline in a wet Bournemouth.
Another picture taken on the same holiday as that of the Interbus Seddon in Dorchester posted earlier. The weather in Bournemouth was little or no better, most pictures required the proverbial 'fortnight at F2' exposure.
Here ex NBC operator Wilts & Dorset are using an ex London Transport DMS type Daimler Fleetline OJD 230R, whilst a 'Yellow Buses' (formerly Bournemouth Corporation) Marshall bodied Leyland Olympian TJT 184X overtakes. The Municipal fleet had itself been a long standing devotee of the Fleetline too, until ending of production by Leyland, forced a change of course. Their final deliveries of the Leyland built Daimler product were on 'W' plates. The picture was taken just off Bournemouth Square in 1987.
