- ECW Leyland Olympians (until 2000)

- Volvo D10 Palatine II Volvo Olympians (2000-2002)

- Dennis Trident East Lancs Lolynes (2002-07)

Note that just before GNE & Arriva gave up 'joint operation' of the 308 - that GNE did use Volvo Olympians again when more Lolynes were needed for the then newly relaunched Coaster 1/2.

Don't think the Cityzen's were ever bought for the 308 were they? I know they wandered across, at times, but I always thought they were for the EX1/Cramlington Expresses/X24/X25/363/364 with their single decker cousins. 

Obviously Blyth never keeps things on what they're meant to be on though as, rightfully, regulation is more important.
