Two buses on the morning and afternoon #808 services - one each way interworks with services X70/X71 so should be allocated a Scania N94UD, and the other is standalone so should be allocated a Dennis Trident ELC.
The morning #X78 interworks with scholars service 822 and this will be the same bus which operates the 16:55 #11 Newcastle to Blackhall Mill now. The afternoon #X78 interworks with scholars service 826.
As present, the Volvo Olympians should not be allocated to normal public services, but can appear as a last resort reserve when no other low-floor vehicles are available.
