Surely they'd be needed for the paralympics too?

Not all the vehicles that were used for the Olympics will be needed for the Paralympics as it is a smaller event so some vehicles will start making there way back to the provinces .

Does anybody know the number of the old ECW olympian that LS had before it became an open topper in North Wales.

The number of that bus was 3122 C212 GTU. It was the last Olympian new to Crosville, and is the last Crosville link to Arriva.

All the open top ECWs operated at LS, D170FYM and D242FYM both operated there with C212GTU for rails work. I think C212GTU was the only one that did service work. I think there was a third London one but can't remember without checking my notes.
