About the library:
The Blackburn Transport Photo Library is a comprehensive collection of images of trams and buses from every era of public transport in Blackburn

If you have any images of Blackburn trams or buses and would like them included in the library then please contact me.

Vehicle Type: LEYLAND Olympian
Fleet No.'s: 31-40 and 46-58

Vehicles in this gallery have an individual page for each bus.

These vehicles first entered service with Lothian Transport (Edinburgh) between 1984 and 1986, and arrived at Blackburn between 2001 and 2002 (though No. 31 had arrived in 2000 for evaluation purposes)

The high seating capacity of these long wheel based variant of the Olympain chassis made them ideally suited to School services and for the 'rush hours' of Track 1.

Two further vehicles, No.'s 57 and 58, were aquired in June 2003 and July 2004 respectively, No. 58 being the first vehicle painted in the new Schools+ livery (see Liveries Page) entering service on 1st September 2004.
