The East Lancs Visionaire was a bus body built by East Lancashire Coachbuilders. It was in terms of engineering an open top Olympus (itself a double-deck variant of the Esteem) in all but name.

The first orders were made in November 2006 by Arriva's The Original Tour for a £1.6 million order for ten, built on Volvo's B9TL Euro 4 chassis. These are all now in service and are the only orders so far.

After East Lancs went into administration in 2007, the business was bought by the Darwen Group, and the East Lancs Visionaire was renamed the Darwen Visionaire.
