 Former Lothian Olympians were deployed by Bournemouth. Here 302 (E302MSG) passes another on stand outside the BIC International Centre near the Pier and beach. |

 Sister vehicle, 312 (E312MSG) approaches The Square on the same day in July 2012. The bus affords more protection in inclement weather than 302. The long wheelbase model Olympians favoured by Edinburgh help to maximise top deck seating capacity. |

 During its relatively brief ownership of Bournemouth Yellow Buses RATP transferred some Alexander bodied Leyland Olympians from the Original London Sightseeing Tour fleet down to the South Coast. Still adorned with images of Big Ben, St Pauls and Tower Bridge, former OA319 (J319BSH) is seen on stand in Poole.

 The Ipswich Atlantean was displayed as part of a trio of fascinating City Sightseeing buses. Alongside was another Atlantean, this time bodied by East Lancs, originally in the Sheffield fleet, 312 (UWA312L). but just returned from Australia where it had been on the City Sightseeing Blue Mountains Tour then an unusual singledeck Dart MPD City Sightseeing bus, 33305 (AE51VFX), from Stagecoach Cambridge and used on the tour to Duxford, but displaced by a doubledecker for the day with the extra passengers expected for SHOWBUS. |
