10000 has now moved onto service 22 as part of the comparison trials with Walkergate's non-hybrid deckers. Hopefully not too long now before it appears on Walkergate's prime decker route!

17032 making the type's first appearance on the 610

A number of odd workings today saw both 16839 and 16831 on the 36, and indeed 16831 was still on there at half 4 this afternoon, although it should now have been taken off due to it being on the board that finishes at James Cook Hospital on the 36A and Olympians are not allowed beyond Park End on either that or the 37.

16831 did get pulled off the 36 last night (that or the driver diverted via Longlands on the 36A) as it was out on the 52 today. The only other Olympian out during the main daytime was 16835 on the 35.

However, this afternoon saw 16835 reappear to replace 24102 on the 36, 16833 end up on the 37 (replaced by 22065 by the time it got back into Stockton from North Tees Hospital) and 16834 on the 52/58.

Enviro300 24108 spent the day on the 52, while sisters 24109/11 were changeovers on the 13 and 35 respectively.

Olympian 16835 spent the day on the 58 today. Sister 16839 was the Hartlepool-starting extra 36, 16831 was on the 13 while 16836 was a changeover on the 59.

Enviro300 24109 made a unusual appearance on the 35 today.

HI when was the Enviro300s last resprayed since they come in 2009.

They have not yet been repainted since new, apart from a few panel repairs. They should be due repaints next year at 5 years old.

Thank you for that

Olympian 16831 is currently out on the 36, if it goes the distance it'll be out until after midnight tonight on them (finishes in Hartlepool at 2345).

Today's extra 36s were both Olympians, in the form of 16839 on the Park End starting trip and 16834 on the Hartlepool starting one. Sister 16835 spent the day on 12/34 before being replaced by 22659 while 16836 was on the 13 again before being replaced.
