Awesome Olympians

Bookended by Volvo B10BLE 1920 R920COU and Dart 234 N234KAE, are a quartet of similar but differing Olympians.

 

9538 NTC137Y was one of a number of Bristol vehicles with Roe bodies that were cascaded to Bath to replace VRs that weren't much older. Same with 9536 NTC135Y, which later ended up in Scotland and then to the infamous Kells Transport Museum (so now scrapped).

 

A757VAF was new as Western National 1810 with coach seats for the X80 between Plymouth and Torbay and had the more standard ECW body. 9003 G903TWS was new to Bath depot but was sent to Southern National as their 1820, becoming 34963 but avoiding being sent to Cornwall; it has a Leyland body built using ECW jigs.
