16303 is a standard UK bus while the SWT pair are high capacity tri-axle 11m long air-conditioned coaches imported from Hong Kong. Both types have a shared heritage, being based on the same Olympian chassis (a 1998 Volvo versus 1991 Leylands) and Alexander R type bodywork (lowheight RL versus full height RH's).
