C147KBT seen on 10th December 2005 outside the railway station. Numbered 5147 in the Yorkshire Rider fleet, this was one of fifteen Olympians bodied by Optare for that company between 1985 and 1987. First Bradford retains six examples, four operate with First Leeds, two were transferred to First Devon & Cornwall in 2000, and C511KBT and D515HUB are in the First York fleet. This makes C147KBT the only Optare Olympian in the hands of an independent operator.
