ukbus 4010 Alexander Royale-bodied Volvo Olympian
South Gloucestershire Bus & Coach
Since the operation of London Airbus routes ceased a couple years ago, the new lives of the ex-Airbus Volvo Olympian / Alexander Royales have been of interest to British enthusiasts. Creative Master Northcord Limited is releasing the fourth livery on the Airbus / ex-Airbus replica ukbus 4010, in South Gloucestershire Bus & Coach's University of the West of Englandcolours.

ukbus 4010 represents fleet number 139 (N114 UHP). 139 was delivered new to London United in the autumn of 1995 for London Airbus services. National Express purchased the Airbus operation from London United in 1999 along with the 19 Olympians which operated it. These vehicles were unusual in having Air Conditioning, only 9 seats in the lower saloon, luggage racks and a wheelchair space & lift.

Following the reduction of Airbus services, South Gloucestershire Bus & Coach acquired many Olympians from the dealer Ensignbus.

The University of the West of England in conjunction with South Gloucestershire Bus & Coach Company have been providing affordable transportation for its staff and students from September 2002. The bus route provides, term time only, a direct link to the University campus at Frenchay with its city centre student halls of residence. On average, during each academic year, approximately 80,000 passengers are transported.

The buses, an air-conditioned Alexander-bodied Volvo Olympian in this case, carry a livery designed by the University Central Graphic Design Studio, and feature students currently studying at the University.

Similar to those Airbus / ex-Airbus replicas, ukbus 4010 has a new combination of the ukbus 4000 series casting, with a single door, front staircase and bonded windows, as well as chair lift poles at the entrance, brand new additional seats in the lower saloon and ventilation windows on the roof.

ukbus 4010 is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the bonded windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The headlight and indicator units at the front are made of individual components to look more realistic.  

The brand new single-door Alexander Royale Volvo Olympian double-deck bus models will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts Limited (UK), Porte Publishing Company (Japan) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively. The ukbus 4008 model is limited to 1400 pieces worldwide.

即係話…出面唔會有得賣?

有，會係公開發售既。

pp果陣架車既人物廣告係水貼，未知道而家出果批會唔會係tempo printing 定係都係水貼


小小資料補充:-

4010 同之前架 AIRBUS 係同一批車，不過下層加左坐位，而個輪椅升降台都有保留到。

N114UHP 行走 UWE 既 STUDENT LOOP，來往 BRISTOL CITY CENTRE- FRENCHAY CAMPUS之間，行車時間為0730-1800，車程約20分鐘，收費單程 1 GBP。

但公開發售，會唔會好少量或只得某某商店先有呢？？

相信發行數量唔會太少，不過我地Uni自己會keep一批車喺英國果邊賣俾學生。

不駛擔心！
