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.

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.
