Roe bodied Olympians were something of a rarity. Supposedly similar to the ECW product (both
firms were part of Leyland at the time), Roe built highbridge models which found their way to London
Country fleets (LR class) and Bristol, amongts others. Bearing in mind the long allegiance between
Bristol Omnibus, Bristol Commercial Vehicles and ECW this was a little odd. Three of the surviving
models are seen lined up in Marlborough Street depot. |

In its early days of independence, Badgerline struck a deal with Volvo for new vehicles, primarily
for its Weston-super-Mare operations, vehicles being maintained at the local dealership. This
resulted in these rather utilitarian looking Alexander P bodied B10Ms entering service.

More conventional looking, but equally out of the ordinary was a batch of Alexander Volvo Citybuses
based on the underfloor B10M chassis, acquired under the same deal. |
