English: ECW bodied Leyland Olympian buses operated by Lothian Region Transport and its successor, Lothian Buses. LRT bought a total of 128 between 1982 and 1986. This was the only type of double-decker bought new in this period, after which LRT switched to the Alexander RH bodied combination. All were dual-doored buses. Fleetnumbers were 668-794 in delivery order, matched to registrations (with 770 allocated twice, the original being sold back to Leyland as a demonstrator). They arrived in four batches, each being delivered in the winter months - 35 in 1982/3 (OFS nnnY), 34 in 1983 (Annn YFS), 34 in 1984 (Bnnn GSC) and finally 25 in 1985/6 (Cnnn SFS).
