Creative Master Northcord 1/76 Alexander Royale Bristol University of the West of England (UKBUS 4010) Operator: South Gloucestershire Bus & Coach
Ex-Airbus Volvo Olympian / Alexander Royale 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 in1999 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 thiscase,
carry a livery designed by the University Central Graphic DesignStudio, and feature
students currently studying at the University.
