If there's any Enviro400s coming over from Yorkshire, they're more likely to be Scania based as there's only 8 all-ADL in the whole region!

Aye, believe there's mention of 5 coming. I've heard Chesterfield's 15690/1 and Sheffield Ecclesfield's 15716-8 are coming along with Barnsley's MAN Enviro300s 22541-4 and Holbrook's 22636-9.

Seems these are indeed the vehicles coming. Have now heard that 13 vehicles will be leaving Walkergate depot very shortly.
Also confirmed is a total of 27 vehicles (already listed on the previous page) from South Shields very shortly. We're also expecting Stockton's 4 Alexander ALX300-bodied Volvo B10BLEs (21141/3/4/50) to be moving to the Busways side of the operation in the next week or so.
Further news. South Shields' share of the North East Olympic vehicles now stands at only the 17 Enviro300.
A very strange day with regards to allocations on the 37 today:
22206, 22020 and 22014 joined branded 22064/6 this morning (branded 22061/2 were off, while 22063 was on the 36 joined by 22061 later in the day)
22014 was removed at half 11 and replaced by 22658
About 5 this afternoon, it all went to pot, somehow 22206 & 22020 ended up on the duty half an hour in-front of their original duty (375 and 371 respectively) with 22064 moving onto 372 (Finishes in Middlesbrough at 1902). However, due to late running by 22206, Olympian 16839 operated the 1710 from Stockton to North Tees Hospital and back. Meanwhile, 22211 appeared on some additional working towards North Tees about half 5 and never returned.

16839's appearance on the 37 yesterday towards North Tees Hospital.
And heading the other way, notice it displays 'Park End via Middlesbrough' instead of James Cook Hospital to avoid people's confusing in case no replacement can be found before Middlesbrough and the trip not carrying on beyond Park End(the Olympians can't operate the Park End-James Cook Hospital part of the route due to a low bridge at Marton Railway Station not that far from Park End).
To correct here,
22061 replaced 22063 on the 36 instead of joining it on there. Ironically, it did do a trip of its branded route as 3 36 duties that finish operate short 37 trips from Park End, with the working 22061 did working the first one to Stockton (the other 2, and the one that works off the 38 directly behind the Stockton run, only go as far as Middlesbrough).
