Z&S of Aylesbury bought several Dublin Olympians. This Leyland example was painted into a traditional style echoing the colours of Thames Valley. Former RH111 (91D10111) is seen leaving the Grange Coach Park in Aylesbury in June 2009, now registered J778CEV.
 
Arriving at SHOWBUS 2010 is Central Buses R274LHK, formerly RV405 (98D20405).
 

Kent operator Nu-Venture like to paint vehicles in commemorative liveries and treated RH33 (90D0133) to the livery of Maidstone Corporation to help celebrate the former undertaking's centenary in 2004. Appropriately the bus was numbered 100 though was registered H838PTW on acquisition.
 
At the London Bus Preservation rally at Dunsfold in 2010 Southern Transit displayed this trio of ex Dublin Volvo Olympians, from right to left N429-431FKK. The livery is more recognisable as that of Uno and the buses were 250-252 in that fleet, but were originally CIE RA269, RA277 and RA276.
