Here is a photo of 3828, fleet numbered 16259 with Stagecoach.

Wish they could have kept them on use up here. How can they run Non DDA buses in Bristol.

South Glos ran a load of schools contracts; there was a total of eight Olympians (and one Volvo Citybus!) transferred across.  Stagecoach have stated that they're intending to replace them with newer vehicles, probably assorted elderly Tridents, in the New Year - if you want to buy 3828, you've not got long to save up your pennies!

And 3828 has now been stood down from service, being transferred yesterday to Stroud for storage.

Can anyone remember which company the old Sunderland Connect hybrids went too?

I've seen it reported elsewhere that S828OFT, originally 3828 and latterly Stagecoach West's 16259, has apparently been bought by a driver with SC West. I've not managed to find out any plans for the vehicle as yet. Hopefully the new owner will select a suitably heritage livery for his acquisition!

Is there only 2 going down in total?

Two directly from Go North East (5211 and 5223), three which had been loaned from East Yorkshire (5226, 5231, 5232).

The five B7s which were on loan to Go Cornwall Bus have now been returned to East Yorkshire as a result. They were not used during their time at Go Cornwall Bus due to the pandemic.
