I doubt it has been started up in a while though, when I was at Saltmeadows on Saturday, I only saw 3823 and 3825... When a bus doesn't get started up in a while, it does ''die''. Remember in On the Yorkshire Buses; I think it was the first episode, there was a crisis because some of the buses used on scholars services hadn't been started up in six weeks, and they couldn't get them to move as a result. I've accepted 4853 and 4854 are gone, I think it's time you moved on, too.

I need time  

Not even an Omnidekka will ever sound as good as 3813 did and that's with an equal (if not more) amount of power. On the whole, I will miss the Olympians so much when they were gone. Even (and i can't believe i'm going to say this) 3814 despite it being the worst Olympian based at Stanley (can't say whole fleet as i have not had a ride of 3818 before). I'm sure the whole of the enthusiast community would agree.

I have to say I really enjoyed my ride on 3813 on the ''Red Kite'' from Consett to Newcastle. None of the silly belt screaming like some of them have, just a pure Volvo was I could hear.

I was quite saddened when I saw that 3825 had been withdrawn, I had that on my scholars for a long time and grew to enjoy it very much. Never got my hands on it again after it migrated to Stanley.

As for 3818, get yourself on an outing over the summer.

I know exactly what you mean about the belt screaming. 3828 had it and just make it sound awful. 3823 had it and it sounded ok. 3822 is the only Olympian left that has it and sounds great. 

3825 wasn't the best performer. I don't know what it was like down at Chester-le-Street but it did have a thing for taking a while to change gears. Not brilliant when it was on the run up to a bank meaning it couldn't show its potential because its run up was ruined.

When 3825 was at Chester-le-Street, it was just a nice bus in general. My favourite place to sit was the single side-facing seat that looked up to the staircase. My friends would opt to sit at the seats just next to it, and directly behind the seats. If we were lucky, and the Year 8s were outnumbered, we would try and take the back seats. Luckily, when I did go into Year 8 and 3825 was still with us, I had the pleasure of sitting at the back until November(ish), when it was suddenly transferred to Stanley.

Although it's more the roar of the Olympian engine that I like to listen to, it is very noticeable when you've got one with a belt scream, a slippy gearbox, or it rattles like a box of nails. My least favourite is 3832, for the latter reason. 3830 and 3831 are two of the best, in my opinion.

Was very hard to turn down both of them in Newcastle yesterday afternoon for 9109. Think 3831 is better than 3830. At least I got two photos of both of them though

As year groups leave, the rear of the bus on both decks are passed down to the next group and so on. No immature gits try and sit at the back - they know what will happen to them if they try

3832 isn't my favorite Olympian either. Lacks power and that metal bar at the front blocking the ticket machine is so annoying.

I remember in Year 8, myself and three others would often be left in charge of the back seats when the others went upstairs. When I say ''others'' I mean the really popular kids.

This was a regular occurrence on the 885 (3825 was allocated to the 887 until its departure, when I was tempted by a friend to join him on the 885 instead), and the Year 7s, who had all of the seats in front of the back, would always attempt to take them from us. Quite a few funny incidents happened, I really do apologise for going off-topic...

Around February/March time, when I was an established member of the back of the 885, more Year 7s than ever attempted to attack us. Normally it was just about five, but this time it was around a dozen. They would try and climb over the seats in front of the rearwards-facing back seats, for us to just push them back. Usually, whoever had the middle section would just kick them back down the gangway. However, on this occasion, we were heavily outnumbered... They just came at us and started sitting down. One of them, who was sort of at the back of the queue, tried to claim he was seriously injured the next morning when I kicked the person in front of him back, resulting in him flying into him and knocking him to the ground. Obviously he stopped himself with his hands, but that didn't stop his parents complaining to his Head of Year demanding whoever was responsible for his ''injuries'' (a couple of scabs if he was lucky!!) was punished. I think he still gets picked on these days about that...

Another time, one of their sieges went horribly wrong when they miscalculated the strength of one of the boys who didn't go upstairs (he was actually what I would have called the ''leader'' of the Year 8s)... He happened to be a boxer... The Year 7 ran in expecting to just climb up and take a seat, but instead got the biggest kick in the groin you could imagine, I could hear it; his facial expression was like he had just been shot! One of his friends then went ahead and tried to tackle the big Year 8; he grabbed him by the collar, took him down to the front of the OAP section of seats - and threw him down to the front of the bus.

I actually miss the scholars... Some hilarious times.

A long time since they had the 968.

Curious to see what it runs off/onto - assuming it is still attached to the 452 (which they have also won), the vehicle will possibly run onto commercial work.
238 perhaps? Or something to/from Peterlee? Maybe a 4?

I'm surprised the 960 is continuing, for a service that only runs once a day and seems to carry thin air on each journey, does it receive third-party funding? As I don't see why it's deemed financially viable.

Waterview Park workers service secured by Nexus.

Ahh, I wonder how much it costs them then since they must be getting literally no money back. Plus couldn't the money be used to subsidize other much more important routes?

They seem to be gaining a few again after loosing quite a lot.

(29 Jul 2015, 9:36 am)Michael wrote They seem to be gaining a few again after loosing quite a lot.

They already operated those ones, they are just being amended.

Wonder when the changes to the 9,X36,X70/X71,45,46,V8/808 are posted, they're changing them on 30.8.15?

I'm not even sure what they will be - do you think the Newcastle X36 runs will be withdrawn as when I've saw them they are always more or less empty.Not sure about the Downhill-Sunderland section though.

(29 Jul 2015, 9:36 am)Michael wrote They seem to be gaining a few again after loosing quite a lot.

That is just a variation Michael! It will have something to do with the withdrawl of the 884 and the rerouting of a few others that Marcus mentioned a few weeks ago.

I think someone said the 9 was due to it not interworking with scholars no more (sorry can't remember who). 

The X36 - no idea, maybe hourly through the full route, maybe that could be the reason why some of the X36 buses have every 60 minutes on the side.

Edit: Updated post to add extra bits! lol

Ah right that might be it yeah as some do terminate at Boldon Asda so I'd imagine these would continue to Jarrow as normal.

Not sure about the rest really.

Not sure either but when i have seen it lately its being empty although the 8pm one towards Newcastle on a Friday used to have decent passenger numbers, i'll say it might become an hourly service.......  PVR will be 2, dropping from 3....with 4955 getting repainted (oldest branded one)

Does the 9 need to be every 15 minutes between Sunderland & Jarrow anyway, always quiet when i've seen it!

(29 Jul 2015, 12:06 pm)Michael wrote Does the 9 need to be every 15 minutes between Sunderland & Jarrow anyway, always quiet when i've seen it!

Yeah I'd say it does as it can get busy. However they need to sort the timetable out as the often run together so there is no point in having a service every 15 minutes.

Maybe give the service more time for layover although that may put the PVR up by 1?
