Trident is X279NNO at Tees Valley. Weardale have acquired 7 ex GNE Olympians, presumably for new school contracts

To cover the additional 23 working, Stanley Buses have Dawsonrental MPD KX06 LXO on-loan. However, it is currently off the road having broken down after just a day in service and as such, they're currently hiring a Solo from Classic.
