Information From Steven Knight Media - Fleet News Ramblings:

✤Stagecoach North East
Dennis Trident/ALX400 17647 & MAN/ALX300s 22023, 22025, 22028, 22029, 22030, 22034, 22035, 22036, 22039, 22041, 22042, 22043 & 22044 have moved from Busways (Awaiting Disposal) at Slatyford to Transit (Awaiting Disposal) & are all parked at Stockton Depot. This formally records the transfer of these vehicles from Busways (Disposal) to Transit (Disposal), though many of the above mentioned vehicles have been parked up at Stockton for some considerable time. MAN/ALX300 22074 which was to be converted to a Driver Training vehicle for Slatyford, is now under conversion to a Driver Training vehicle at Stockton instead. MAN/Kinetic 22511 & MAN/Enviro 300 22579 have both moved from Slatyford Reserve to Delicenced at Slatyford.

It's not with Stagecoach, it's with Stephensons North East.

It was new to White Star Motors and later passed to Stagecoach West Scotland when they took over White Star.

I see a few from my workplace in Newburn Business Park, but it tends to be a cocktail of Enviro's and ALX's.

To be fair 28027 did have parts of its branding missing so may have been prioritised over the slightly older ones. If 28029 is one of the next ones to be done that will probably confirm it as it currently has no branding down one side.

No idea how many have been done and how many are outstanding, but there was a blue one on the X24 yesterday morning.

(16 Nov 2017, 11:19 pm)S830OFT Wonder why they didn't get this one working?

22511 was the worst of them on arrival so wouldn't be surprised if it's ended up as an engineering spare really, rather than a priority to get it into service. Delicenced doesn't necessarily mean it won't appear in the future, the others have recently been re-taxed in October, so probably moved to delicenced on paper on the back of it becoming SORN.

(18 Nov 2017, 12:24 pm)Dan Thanks - do you have dates for when 19389/430/433 were repainted?

19433 was just shy of mid-June, subsequently returning to the 1 rotas. 19430 was similar, recall it being early August when it came back onto the 1s. 19389 not so sure as it's predominantly a 22 rota one, which I don't see often enough to take real note.

(19 Nov 2017, 1:38 pm)V514DFT So its done with then,why,there not planning on scrapping it are they?

Club 22 branding was only ever a temporary promotional brand with the Cobalt extension which would slowly get binned off once vehicles were sent for repaint. Majority needed repainted prior to being branded so lucky it's lasted as long as it has...

The new 13/13As are all over the place. Don't think was a problem with the new route, just seemed to be coming in on time, changing to Not In Service and going out 15 minutes late. Didn't see any with Stainton on the front. One had 13A Hemlington, one 13A Salters Lane (going Linthorpe direction) and one had a totally unreadable screen!

For some strange reason a 10 and 34 swap over at 130pm! It was the case before today's changes and has continued.
