The 'last United bus' statement was not entirely accurate as there were still some Optare MetroRiders in service in United livery at the time, though bearing 'Darlington Roadranger' fleetnames rather than 'United', as well as several scrap Optare Vectas in United and TMS liveries and a withdrawn Leyland Olympian in Tees livery which was not removed until 2007.
