Launched in 1999, the Lolyne was the double-decker version of the Spryte, built on the Dennis Trident 2 twin-axle low-floor chassis.

[1] The facelifted East Lancs Myllennium Lolyne superseded the original Lolyne in 2002, featuring a revised front end based on the East Lancs Myllennium single-deck bus.

[2] The first Lolynes were delivered to Nottingham City Transport in early 1999 as part of an order of 12 of the type, these being among the first Trident 2s produced.

[1] Nottingham City Transport would eventually become a major operator of pre-facelift Lolynes, taking a total of 54 between 1999 and 2001 as the company's standard low-floor double-decker bus.

[6] The only export operators of East Lancs Lolynes in Continental Europe were two sightseeing operators in Spain, with these buses being built to open-top configuration; 25 Lolynes were delivered to Madrid Vision between 2001 and early 2002,[7] with an additional 18 delivered to Barcelona Tours during 2002.
