 It would be unfare to say that Southern Vectis found some old NBC poppy red paint to inspire them with the base livery for the Route Rouge concept! Certainly the route branding is far more imaginative than anything NBC would ever have dreamt up. Together with the Island Explorer route, these two easily understood brands present the holiday makers who visit the island with an easy concept for travel. The ECW Olympians used on Route Rouge have been refurbished and given cherished registrations in favour of their Isle of Wight 'DL' marks. TIL6719 accompanied Island Explorer 744 to EFE SHOWBUS International 2001. | ||||||

Olympian 723 (TIL6723) arrives at Duxford for EFE SHOWBUS International
2003. The bus was substituted for a new Volvo B7TL/President to support EFE's
new casting of an Olympian in SVOC colours. The model, however is not in the
Route Rouge colours.
|  leaving EFE SHOWBUS International 2004 is Route Rouge Olympian 751 (M751HDL) in company with a former PMT Ford Transit 161 (C161VRE).
| 
No where near the Isle of Wight - or a bus rally - is 748 (M748HDL) another Route Rouge Northern Counties bodied Olympian. The bus is on Underground Rail Replacement work in Spring 2004.
