(23 Feb 2024, 2:12 pm)ifm001 Only 648 and 649 did.  641-647 arrived in PTE yellow first then into Busways Blue.,  it was quiite a few years later when all 641-649 went into Economic

Cheers! Thought they must have done based on the date the livery was introduced and the age of the Olympians.
Surprised it wasn't all of them though.

Edit: just found this snapshot. http://publictransportexperience.blogspot.com/2021/12/economic-bus-rides-3.html

(23 Feb 2024, 1:47 pm)Andreos1 Did the Olympians go straight in to the livery from new? 
Always thought they suited the livery better than the Atlanteans.

675/676 were new in economic livery 667 - 674 new in sunderland busways livery


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - F114TML - 28 Feb 2024

I'd say pretty much every bus that wore Economic livery looked decent in it. Bristol RE's, Leyland Lynx, Atlanteans, Olympians and Dennis Dart/Plaxton all looked fine as long as they were kept clean. A strong livery with lining out that respected the lines of the bus; what's not to like?

True of all the Busways liveries imo - other than maybe Favourite and Armstrong Galley Buses which always looked a bit shabby to me.

Favourite Services started up by Busways to win contracted bus services in Durham against Trimdon Motor Services (long storey), Favourite Services orange and fawn livery came from the adapted Greater Manchester Buses livery when purchasing the single deckers from them, ashame busways double deckers never gained the favourite livery and ended up with a favourite sticker on the sides.

I've noticed Sunderland are frequently dropping the 08:43 23 to Thorney Close so that It can run light to Seaburn to operate a board on the 18 due to the vehicle being delayed on the 802. It then drops back onto the 23 at the Prospect with the decker running light to Gilley Law to pick up the 18.


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 08 Mar 2024

I acnnot remember any deckers ever being in full Favourite livery 

Recollection is either as stated previous., sticker over the Busways logo or a black or very dark brown band where the blue, green or maroon bands would have been, but remainder of bus srill in yellow/white
