Olympian Watch (post will be updated throughout the morning)
Already more out than last Saturday, with 16836/7/9 on the 52/58 and 16832 is also out.
EDIT: 16835 is out on 13s as well.
EDIT2: No Olympians in Stockton depot, so all 10 appear to be out in service.

There is one on the 11 that left Middlesbrough at 1056.
EDIT: 16840 is on the 11 behind, the 1116 from Middlesbrough.
EDIT2: 16831 is on 12/14/34, the 1124 14 from Middlesbrough, which leaves 16833/8 as the only two not seen yet.
EDIT3: 16833 is on 11s, 1156 from Middlesbrough, which leaves 16838 as the other 11.
Thanks Kuyoyo. I'm on 16833 on 1156 11 and 16838 is the one behind.
So, yesterday saw the first (and probably last) time this year all 10 Olympians started the day in service. Sadly, due to both 16837/8 being on all day boards (on 52 and 11 respectively), there will have been changeovers mid afternoon (16837 was indeed replaced by 22211).
To bring all yesterday's posts into one, the allocation was:
11: 16833/8/40
12/14/34: 16831
13: 16834/5
35: 16832
52/58: 16836/7/9
Also out on the 52/58 yesterday was
21150.

Given this has been brought up in the Arriva thread, I might as well answer the posts here instead.
Subject to Green Bus Funding approval, 17 Scania K230UB CNG/Alexander Dennis Enviro300 are due for Sunderland in late October/early November as part of a major upgrade to the depot's fleet.
Thanks for clarifying this Kuyoyo. I shall make sure to remember these are Scania-Enviro300s rather than E350Hs due. If I use Newcastle Airport next year (to or from Cork on Jet2) I could stay in the area and ride one!
36-branded MAN Enviro300 24103 is on the 59 tonight. Sister 24105 was on the 52/58 this morning.
In Newcastle, 100-branded Enviro300 27506 was on 30/31/36 while 27510 was on the X47. Dart SLF 33122 was on the 22.
