hope there is because it may be nice to have some different buses around

(14 Jun 2015, 6:39 am)Dan wrote The loan of the two Volvo Olympians to Walkergate was not noted on Stagecoach North East's official Fleet Allocation documents either, though photos on Flickr and sightings noted on this forum certainly suggest it did happen last month, unless we are suggesting that all of the photos were digitally edited on Photoshop and those who sighted the Volvo Olympians in Newcastle are deluded?

As the temporary loan was not noted within the Fleet Cards, the return was not noted either. However, as I live near the Stagecoach Sunderland depot, I am able to confirm that at least one Volvo Olympian is back at Sunderland, as I saw it last Sunday when heading to the rally at South Shields...

10/11: Tend to have ALX300s allocated so probably not worth while upgrading Gold, but could do with newer buses
39/40: Use hybrids, so probabley good earners, so would benfit with Gold specification hybrids

(30 Jun 2015, 5:25 pm)Michael wrote They should be loaned to South Shields for a few runs on the E's during the summer.

(30 Jun 2015, 5:26 pm)AIG20 wrote I'm sure some are loaned to Sunderland during the Airshow weekend for the 510 shuttle service.

For the X34 according to the comments.

(30 Jun 2015, 9:03 pm)S813 FVK wrote Doubt it. Maybe some will go to Teesside to replace the ALX400s as i am certain they aren't DDA compliant?
