  I'd like to give credit to the 2-axle Leyland Olympian which will be retired at the end of this year. Gone will be the last batch of Leyland engined bus in the world. After 15+ years of service, its dedication to Singapore's commuters and its appeal to bus fans will be remembered.
  
  Leyland Olympian ONTL11/2R
  1986 - 2003

  I agree. These buses are certainly good workhorses as well as good friends to many of us, since we watched the arrival of the Leyland Olympian 2 axles till their last days of services.
  
  They will be remembered for their dedication and their lovely engine sounds.

  Yes, they will be missed. Sadly they are all going off by end of this year.
