The Volvo bus is similar to the Dennis version that was available as well. Stagecoach bus (owns Magicbus in Manchester), also had 3 axle Dennis buses before being sent to Kenya for several years. Those buses came back, and were used for a while until Stagecoach bought low floor versions due to DDA rules.

H104BFR is a Leyland Olympian surely? I thought the Volvo Olympian had Volvo hubs and brakes?

H104 BFR is indeed a Leyland Olympian, new to Preston Bus in 1991. However, a Volvo Olympian chassis was used for the training content of this video.
