Citybus Leyland Olympian 2-axle 11m/9.6m/10.5m (#7, #12, #14 - #19)

In 1988, Citybus acquired the first Leyland Olympian 11m air-conditioned bus, fleeted as #101, together with the other Leyland Olympian 12m (#102 - #105), for operating the Cross-border Bus Routes. The air-conditioned system installed was powered by an independent engine. However, as the performance doesn't satisfy,  the air-conditioning unit was being removed in 1991. The bus was being converted into open-top sight-seeing bus and re-fleeted as #7.

Afterward, for the enhancement of cross-border services by replacing the DMS Fleetlines, Citybus acquired the Leyland Olympian 9.6m bodied with ROE bodywork from West Yorkshire PTE. During the period between 1992 and 1995, for the success of open-top sight-seeing fleet of #7, Citybus then converted the #14, #15, #17 and #18 into open-top configuration for the sight-seeing purpose. Only the #12 and #16 were being kept as the original bodywork.

The Citybus #19, was an Olympian acquired by Lothian Regional Transport built in 1984. While in 1987, the bus acted as a demonstrator for Far East, such as BangKok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore. Until 1990, Citybus purchased the bus and fleeted as #61, later re-fleeted as #19. The bus had put onto both the franchised and non-franchised services in 90's. Nowadays, the bus acted as a training bus and staff shuttle bus.
