I will be making another trip in the next few weeks travelling on buses and trains from the NE.

Do they still have any open top Volvo Olympian's and which service are they usually allocated to?

That sounds good actually - the 77/77A is a great route so if you can't fit it in that's a shame.

I think they have P534EFL on the 599 but that's it.
