OLYMPIAN SWAN SONG PART TWO

Here's another Olympian shot this time of J621 BVG an all Leyland Olympian at Norwich Bus Station, strange that two of the batch ended up at Ben Jordan's scrap yard after just 11 years service while the other two had normal service life.
Here is another variant of the Olympian in 34875 F175 LBL an Northern Counties bodied one which came from Beeline in the London Suburbs and had very long productive life's with First.
34529 NTC 129Y was an Roe bodied Olympian which came from Somerset in 2003, originally delivered to the Bristol area in 1983 in NBC times subsequently Badgerline and then into First hands.

Another ECW Olympian 34536 XHK 236X which were new to Eastern National then later Thamesway seen here on the now abandoned 96 to Mistley, now operated by Carters
Another bus with London links is 34951 G51 XLO another Alexander RL body this time we have it in the initial Blue Buses livery used when First took over Great Yarmouth Transport in 1996.

That ends an feature on Olympians how about an end of life feature on Eastern Counties Darts anyone please let me know.
