HK Buses in the UK

This DVD programme filmed over a period from 2003 to 2017, shows some of the former Hong Kong buses in service with various operators in the United Kingdom. We begin at the Stagecoach depot in Winchester where a large batch of former Citybus Leyland Olympians were assembled after their sea crossing from Hong Kong. We move to London and initially feature a former Citybus Leyland Olympian, filmed in 2003, on the 'trial' Megabus Oxford to London service. In London a number of operators acquired many former Hong Kong buses for use on sightseeing tours. Many were converted to open-top for these duties and these are captured on film. In 2006 we return to Winchester. Stagecoach had painted six former Citybus Olympians into South West Trains livery for use on Rail Replacement duties. We complete our programme at what is probably the end of the saga. Due to the introduction of the Disabilities Discrimination Act in the UK almost all former Hong Kong buses can no longer operate in service in the UK.
