I think you're recalling 3675-3679 - the G67_TCN Olympians, which I remember were very nice. Delivered to Sunderland Road and then shipped off to Winlaton soon after as part of the Metrobus/Olympian swap.
Apologies, getting mixed up.
Yes, thinking of the TCN Olympians.
Saw the G reg plate and in my haste, got it wrong.
