No indication (yet) when the Olympians will be withdrawn. For rides, better to visit on a Saturday or during School Holidays (Teesside schools are on holidays this week) when all Olympians out in service are out all day on those runs whereas on Schooldays usually only one stays out until the end of the working it's on (and in the case of 16837 on the 36 the other day, only appearred at 12-ish until 8).

Thanks Kuyoyo for the info. Just out of interest when you say the olympians are out in service all day on a Saturday does football interfere with that when either Middlesbrough or Sunderland are at home? Would ollys get pulled off services to do park and ride instead as I notice Sunderland are at home next Saturday?

Only when Sunderland are at home. Though normally the 3 Olympians for the Park & Ride are allocated onto that wok at the beginning of the day so spend the morning in the depot. Stagecoach no longer do any work for Middlesbrough FC.
