That's because, at the moment, the depot run-out sheet has the X63 down for B10BLE operation (much like Stockton's depot run-out sheets had the 35 as the same until this week, now down as 'New MAN' aka the 03-reg and 22065) hencefore those vehicles are used. Of course, given Walkergate are expected to swap their B10BLEs for a couple of Slatyford's Enviro400s (to maintain a mainly decker-operated network from Walkergate) expect to see the 55-reg MANs on there regularly from now on.
(Before mention, the MAN Enviro300s heading for Walkergate depot are expected to be used on the 38)

If am honest a prefer the older buses tbf especially the Olympians but obviously they couldn't be used anymore due to the no low floor

Unfortunatly, the Olympians haven't even been brought out of storage at Stockton* and the B10BLEs are going after the Enviro300s and Enviro400s return from London.
*And even if they had, 16707 requires a new gearbox before it can be used again
