Here's one of Go Ahead Group’s recent trade press publications, extolling the virtues of local control, the way the group’s management likes to run its subsidiaries. And the philosophy seems to work well, too, with subsidiaries Wilts & Dorset and Brighton & Hove winning in this year’s Bus Industry Awards. And 2005 was by no means B&H’s first.
But wait a moment. Interesting choice of vehicle in the background. We could be wrong but isn’t that a rather elderly Solent Blue Line Olympian? Possibly even a c.15 year old one, in Blue Star livery? Please use Comments to confirm or make a correction. What happened to SBL's Dennis Tridents or Volvo B7TLs? To be the backdrop for such an adertisement just proves that there’s life in these old buses yet! Even if some are due for withdrawal this month.

Yes, this is an Olympian, though the photo's not easy to see. The beading above the widscreen gives it away.
