GMT official fleetlist 19/8/84

19/8/84 official printout of Greater Manchester Transport fleet list --- a detail showing that the initial Olympians were recognised by the Company, for whatever reason, as BRISTOLS and not LEYLANDS. I wonder what it said on the Tax-disc, as these were badged as Leylands. It may explain Andy supercool Street taking the Mayoral Party to view the Bolton Marathon in a brand new Olympian. The Mayoress stayed on the bus whilst official proceedings took place and chatted to Andy. "This is a nice bus" she commented whilst inspecting the new type of vehicle "Why isnt it taxed?" LOLOL I really must find out how Supercool charmed his way out of that one!
