Would make sense, a few more doubles in for the easter holidays. I hope so anyway, its been a fair few years since SOT had 2 different double decker types on routes!!!

The Olympians will likely be withdrawn as and when all 10 Tridents have arrived and settled into service.
Although Sheffield have around 20 or so MANs in storage...... it would appear that the five Enviro400's that are going to Hull to displace ALX400's to Stockton have turned up at Holbrook on their way and staying on short term loan due to a "severe" vehicle shortages. So I assume a further delay to Stockton arrivals.
Hull originally needed their ex-Manc Enviro400s for service changes on 1st April...
36-branded MAN Enviro300 24102 was used on the 37 today until mid afternoon, when it was swapped onto the 11 in place of 22674 (which replaced it on the 37). Although one Saturday morning 11 from Lingfield Park is worked by an Enviro300, that is on the front of a 36 board, it's unusual for an Enviro300 to be on any Middlsbrough route during the day.
37-branded 22061 replaced a sister on the 13, while 16831 spent the whole day on there as well.

There is also an AM 14 journey that is worked by a 36 board that then commences from Mbro to Hartlepool West View.

Indeed, there's also a 36 that starts as a 52 from the Owington Farm during the week as well (arrives in Stockton then goes out to Hartlepool, logic or what). The one that does the 11 on a Saturday morning also does a 794 before that and a short 38 to Park End.
Olympian 16837 covered a 36 between Middlesbrough, Park End and return this morning after 24110 was withdrawn from service in Stockton to be cleaned up after someone was sick on it. It remained in use as Park End spare until school times. 16835 was used as Middlesbrough spare replacing a late running 22199 on the 12 before replacing 22668 for one trip on the 14 before replaced by 22670. 16839 spent the whole day on the 13, 21141 also appearing on there until replaced by 24113. 21141 has appearently also been re-MOT'd so they may be staying longer than we expected.
22668 was pissing fuel all over the bus station. 21141 is now tested til 21/03/14.
