Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2015
I suspect some of the new E300s are in Stockton depot or at least will be by next Monday. Stagecoach have said no-one can access the 500 Group's buses to go to Seaburn unless they are Stagecoach employees! They have also told someone who they supplied the reg. numbers to not to tell anybody else. What's the big deal?!!

Must be someone with access to a car who can sit outside the depot all night to catch one turning up and see what the big deal is!

Arriva are reporting traffic delays in the Middlesbrough area on their Facebook page, I'm guessing this could having an affect on Stagecoach services in the area.

(29 Aug 2015, 1:36 pm)ifm001 Sure 19196 and 97 are in services on X34 today alongside 19642
19643 has seen a few days use on X34 this week but not seen any of the others that have arrived at Shields depot ie 19 645.
Incidentally when the Leyland olympions with fire bumpers were new to Tyne and Wear PTE back in 1986 they were numbered 641-647 (C641 LFT etc) and allocated to South Shields so is nice to see 19641-19647 being allocated again. Brings back old memories. (648 And 649 were delivered to Economic at South Shields At the time)

No new buses will be entering service from Stockton depot tomorrow. At present, we don't know how many are actually here (we did spot one poking its back end out of the depot this afternoon upon the return from Seaburn).
In other news, Cwmbran Astromega 50235 was in Stockton depot this afternoon. Not sure how long it will be there for however.
