	Leyland Olympian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A SBS Transit 3-axle Leyland Olympian (air-conditioned) in Singapore.
		The Leyland Olympian was a double-deck bus built by British Leyland in United Kingdom from 1980 to 1993.
		The Olympian was built as a result of the Leyland Titan (B15), an integral double deck bus which was ordered en masse by London Transport.

		However, at the end of the day, both the B15 Leyland Titan and the MCW Metrobus failed to maintain a firm foothold and eventually matters reverted to previous circumstances whereby chassis were purchased by operating companies who then chose their bodybuilder, and in some circumstances continued to influence their design.
		As far as Leyland Motors were concerned, they had hoped that their integral Leyland National single-decker would be replicated by the double-deck Leyland Titan, but this project failed for a number of reasons.
		Leyland, very conscious of the failure of the Leyland Titan, realised that their only survival would be in the continuation of production of separate chassis, to be bodied by independent bodybuilders, so consequently created what was the B45 which was to become the Olympian.

	Leyland Titan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Leyland Titan is an integrally constructed rear engined double deck bus of advanced design, the result of one of the most intensive investigations into meeting the future requirements of double deck users and operators.
		In keeping with the Leyland National single- deck philosophy the Leyland Titan double decker is manufactured as a complete vehicle proved by the manufacturer prior to sale, and is designed for one-man-operation.
		It is an 11.1 litre 6-cylinder vertical in-line diesel mounted transversely at the rear and rated at 127 kW (170 bhp) at 1850 rev/min and 725 N m (535 lbf ft) torque at 1200 rev/min to BS AU 141a gross.

	The march of the Leyland Titan
		Back when buses were favoured over trams, Leyland promoted their Titan bus range with the slogan ‘When you bury a tram, mark the spot with a Titan’.
		The Leyland Titan, a low-loading model especially designed for passenger use by J.G. Rackham, was introduced in 1927, complementing his new Tiger single-decker.
		Indeed the Titan was widely used for tramway replacement, Leyland's aggressive slogan being "When you bury a tram mark the spot with a Titan".

	IAN'S BUS STOP: Leyland Titan
		The Titan was supposed to be Leyland's double-deck equivalent to the National: a nationwide successor to the Atlantean.
		Consequently Leyland announced that it was closing the plant in November 1979.
		The Titans were concentrated in the eastern areas, and then in south and south-east London, leaving the arc from Northeast London round to the Southwest as Metrobus country.

		This was not a vehicle that we had initially considered securing for preservation and had in fact, earlier in the year, considered possibly acquiring it as a source of Northern Counties body and Leyland Fleetline chassis/engine spare parts until this role was fulfilled by the acquisition of 6950.
		Thereafter, once Titan deliveries re-commenced, a block of registrations commencing at GNF 6V were acquired, but as deliveries dried up at Titan No. 15 the last Titan was registered GNF 15V, and it turned out to be the very last Titan ever delivered to Greater Manchester and is owned by the SELNEC Preservation Society.
		We have GNF 15V on a Leyland Titan and GNF 16V on the Leyland Fleetline.

		It also introduced the ‘lowbridge' concept, patented by Leyland, whereby the provision of bench seating in rows of four with a sunken gangway on the top deck permitted overall height to be kept to just over 13ft.
		Leyland’s rivals soon copied innovations such as four-wheel brakes and self-starters, and many features became standard practice for the next 25 years.
		GE2446 is believed to be the oldest surviving Leyland Titan TD1, the only Scottish example preserved, one of only three with open staircases and possibly the oldest double decker formerly with a Scottish operator still in existence.

		Leyland Motors, based in Leyland, Lancashire, had been noted for their steam and petrol engined vehicles, and had entered the luxury car market.
		No. 54 was one of a batch of Titans new to Bolton Corporation Tramways in 1929, the year that Bolton's growing motor bus fleet moved into a new garage.
		After a few years with Leyland, which included an appearance in Wallasey, disguised as a Wallasey Corporation bus, the bus was donated by Leyland Motors to the LVVS in 1965, and a full restoration was carried out - there was some support for the proposal to restore the bus to Lincoln Corporation colours.

	The London Bus Page - 28/02/03 - Nearly The End For The Titan
		Elsewhere the Titan is still operating in some strength in Liverpool, where the former MTL Merseybus took over two hundred second-hand.
		The Leyland Titan was the last London bus to be designed largely by London Transport, and to a certain extent this meant that some of its more complex features rendered it unsaleable outside the capital, like the Routemaster before it.
		The latter two commenced fleet replacement immediately, cascading Titans around the country, while the removal of the type from London Central was not started until Ls had been got rid of first.

		The Leyland Titan TD double-deck range was first introduced in 1928 and quickly built up a reputation for robustness and reliability.
		Leyland Motors were able to complete 197 double-deck chassis as a result, 96 Titan TD7 models and one Titan TD5.
		It was fitted with an Alexander 53 seat lowbridge double-deck body which had been built on a Leyland frame to full pre-war specification, joining a fleet of similar pre-war vehicles in the SMT fleet.

		The dual door version of the Titan first appeared in the range in 2002, a catalogue number (292) has been reserved for a possible future single door version.

		So now you should see the advantages and strengths of Leyland Olympian, and that was why KMB has chosen this model as their most important one.
		Due to the mass volume of retirement of the front-engined Leyland Victory-IIs and Dennis Jubilants, the non-air-conditioned Leyland Olympians were allocated to the important and secondary routes in the New Territories.
		After the withdrawal of S3BL174, a rebodied Leyland Olympian, in 2001, KMB began to withdraw 11m tri-axle Leyland Olympians in 2002.

	Bus Zone - RTL Leyland Titans
		The first Titans were purchased because Reading saw a need to source buses from two different suppliers (most new buses at the time being sourced from MCW) and because Leyland was keen to gain extra contracts at the time.
		The Leyland Titan was designed with the view to making it only available to London bus companies, but because they were so keen to attract Reading's custom they made an exception.
		In 1989, all of the coaches were transferred to the town fleet, during 1999 and 2000 they had their centre doors filled in along with all of the other dual door buses in the fleet, and then during 2001 they were all re-seated to bus specification.

	The London Bus Page - 19/06/03 - London's Leyland Titan Breathes Its Last
		T 1018 had become the only Titan left out of a fleet that once numbered 1125 members (plus six acquired second-hand) when Peckham's final two were withdrawn on 4th April.
		Thanks to London Central for giving the Titan a proper send-off, it was much appreciated by the sizeable band who rode on T 1018 (some all day!) and photographed it for posterity.
		The 40 isn't really a 'classic' Titan route, only taking the type in crew mode in mid-1984 when Poplar replaced RMs, and then settling with the familiar A- and B-registration models when Camberwell took over the route to go with its OPO conversion on 2nd November 1985.

	IAN'S BUS STOP: The LONDON TRANSPORT RTLs
		London Transport had for many years dual-sourced chassis from AEC and Leyland, and had good experiences with the latter in the prewar TDs and in the STDs.
		The front chassis hangers were more prominent on the Leylands too, necessitating the small cut-out at the foot of the cab front, that had not been there on the original RT3 roofbox bodies.
		The Leylands tended to be garaged separately from their AEC counterparts, perhaps to avoid confusion in servicing in the wee small hours of the morning, perhaps to minimise the quantity of spare parts required at garages.

		These vehicles were two of 16 Titan TD1's acquired in 1930/31, the remainder of which had all gone by 1950.
		With the 1930's Leyland Titans and Regent II's getting long in the tooth, it was decided to convert some of the post war Leyland PD1's to take over their duties.
		With the last of the Titan PD1 batch (13-18) having been withdrawn in 1968, the seafront services had subsequently been operated by closed-roof buses only, and this conversion was intended to rectify the situation.
