Newcastle Gateshead liveried City Sightseeing 14673 was in South Shields today operating the South Shields Shuttle instead of 14671
Olympians 16831/3/5 were on the 13 today, 16834/9 on 52s (16839 may still be out on there, as it left Stockton at 1930) while 16836 was on the 58. 17032 managed to end up on a normal 36 working, while the Hartlepool starting extra today was, oddly, 22465.
Today's CS2 was run by 14669. On Teesside, 16835 was on the 52 while 17032 worked the 58 before being used on the evening staff bus.
Olympians 16831/6 formed today's 36 extra workings (16836 from Park End, 16831 from Hartlepool). Sisters 16833/4/9 were on the 13, while 16835 was on the 12/14. Tridents 17026/7/32 were all on the 52 until mid afternoon when 17026 was pinched for the 36.

Thanks.
Olympian 16835 seems to have spent the day on the 58 today, while 16836 was operating the buggy this evening (possibly having been taken off the 52, normally the case when an Olympian appears on the buggy on weekday evenings).
Olympian 16834/9 have been on the 52 today, 16831 on the 13 later joined by 17032, 16833 on the 35 and 16835 replaced 21150 on the 58. 21104 was also on the 13 until it was replaced by 22197. Oddly, both extra 36s today were MANs, with 22197 operating the Park End starting board (instead of 17032, which was on driver training) which 22454 was the Hartlepool starting board. 17027 and 24107 were both used at various points during the day to cover trips on the 59.
To answer the endless asked question of when the remaining Tridents are due to arrive, a post of the Stagecoach Enthusiast Facebook Group has confirmed the arrival of another Enviro400 at Hull from Manchester, which should mean another Trident will be on its way to Teesside in the next few weeks.
Following yesterday's A19 fatal which brought Middlesbrough to its knees, a fatal Motorbike crash on the A66 in Middlesbrough brought everything serving the town to its knees, with delays of an hour and a half on the 36/7/8 recorded. Services are still delayed at present, nearly two hours after the road was reopened. A further accident on the old A19 in Billingham will further delay 36s. As such, two notable workings on the 36 today were 17027 (after completing its morning of driver training) and 21104. 21150 was used to cover a 38 this afternoon.
Olympian 16831/6 were on the 13 today, 16833 was again on the 35 while 16834/9 were on the 52. 17032 was the only Trident out in service at the start of the day on the 58.
Olympian 16831/4 were on the 13 today, 16833 was on the 35 again, 16835 was on the 58, 16836 on the 12/14 and 16839 on the 11. 17032 was also on the 12/14 while 17026 was used on driver training and either 17025/7 was on Middlesbrough service.
The final vehicle new to Cleveland Transit to remain with Stagecoach, B10B trainer 21037 was undergoing its MOT today for what is said to be its final 12 months with Stagecoach. A life in preservation is looking likely at present, with it due to attend the Seaburn Rally at the end of the month.
Can't believe 21037 has lasted this long, could easily have been replaced by now with an ALX300 of some sort, or even a B10M.
