Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2018
Re. the x24a, would it add that much on to the timetable to be able to serve all the stops on Chester road and still serve doxford park?
I am on it at the moment and it seemed to take an age to get from its last stop on Chester road to Doxford via the a690.
Could it not go via Hastings hill, then southbound onto the a19 into Doxford and then back northbound on the a19 again? It doesn't seem to me like that would any slower.
Not much else in terms of movement from what has been mentioned over the last period, so just as a confirmation...
PERIOD 10 (wk commencing 07th January 2017)
B10M 20554 was sold for scrap to Alpha Recovery with MAN 22076 taking it's place at Walkergate as their training vehicle, it has been repainted but I believe it still needs some pre-training work done to it. Doesn't look like it's moved since it came back from repaint the times I've gone past, so assume its still not ready. 17647 and 22014 sold for scrap to Alpha Recovery. 54045 is on NE disposals.
Also, upcoming soon is another decker and saloon swap between Walkergate and Slatyford - a second 18 board will be turning to DD operation. (so 1 MAN, 2 Enviro400).

I noticed 22343 was parked up at the back of Slatyford last week. I don't see why they don't just convert the last 18 board to DD allowing Walkergate to be fully DD operated.
