The East Lancs Olympus is a double-deck variant of the East Lancs Esteem bus body, it is available on Alexander Dennis Enviro 400, VDL DB250, Volvo B9TL and Scania chassis. The first example built on a Volvo B9TL chassis for Delaine Buses was launched at Euro Bus Expo 2006. This was meant to be a higher specification model for Ham's of Flimwell, but was not ready in time for the show meaning the bus didn't show its full potential.

At the beginning of January 2007 Reading Buses ordered six Olympus for their Loddon Bridge FastTrack park and ride contract to replace Optare Excels. They will have Scania chassis and are due - in a yellow and blue livery - in May 2007.

There will also be an open-top version, the Visionaire.

East Lancs stated that the Olympus will replace the OmniDekka on Scania chassis, which is 10.6 or 11.9 metres in length.
