Does anyone have final photos of the Leyland Olympians waiting to be scrapped?

It would be good if somebody filmed the scrapping process..

TIB1218R SG

Opps... Thanks for the correction.

Today marks the end of another chapter - the Leyland Olympian 3 axles buses are fully retired on 26th April 2013 for the last few units registered.

They were the first ever airconditioned double decker buses brought in by Singapore Bus Service (SBS) and was nicknamed "Superbus" with the 'S' stylised with the SBS logo, due to the impressive 12m length of the vehicle at that time. The Superbus nickname also had a unique livery which stuck for most of the airconditioned double decker fleet that were brought in until the arrival of the low floor double decker buses.

Also notable is that the 200 Leyland Olympian 3 axles purchased by SBS were the last batch of Leyland buses ever built, with the last chassis ON21080 registered as SBS9168S (likely for auspicious reasons), though the fate of ON21080 still remains a mystery while most of its cousins were scrapped after retirement.
