Due to a number of vehicles being targeted by youths throwing missiles at Houghton, causing damage to our vehicles, we will not be serving Houghton Church and Newbottle Street, instead diverting via Hillside Way until further notice, many apologies

Sunderland Echo have posted this a few minutes ago.

(03 Dec 2017, 7:03 pm)JP6004 I didnt think it had been confirmed...

It hasn't. Just seems to fit nicely with the recent emergence of a photo which stated that the Waggonway Solars would be withdrawn in the not too distant future.

They're the only buses which will be available for the 28/28A for the time-being, doubt they would send Citaro's to Chester, as they don't have any.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

(03 Dec 2017, 6:31 pm)citaro5284 I will go for 5 extra required.

I'm inclined to agree  Wink

Just done some quick calculations on excel and discovered that the total PVR would be 18 (10 for 26, 8 for 27) which works out nicely for all of 5305-5309 to join the Crusader brand. It doesn't look like there will be any interworking between the two during the day either.

I would think so, they'll gain some of the Omnicities from the Coaster.

Which will also have WiFi. I wonder if there is a business case to fit the current Omnicitys on there.

Maybe 5253 and 5254 will move instead? Then again it's said the 5 will be operated by Percy Main so god knows

UPDATE: Houghton Church, we have attempted to put services back through however the youths are continuing to throw items at our vehicles. Services are dropping off and picking up at the old Co-Op until further notice We apologise for the continued inconvenience.

Ah right, so I would have thought this:


5253/54 - Washington for 5/50 (extension to 5 should only need 1 bus, and 1 spare) - No WiFi so will make the allocation the same
5251/52/61/62 - 19 
5263-71 - 11

That leaves 5272, 5273 and 5274 spare.

On the other hand they could go to Stanley for the Toon Link so replace Omindekkas but I'm sure some boards will require a high capacity than Omnicities?

I think 5251/52 to Stanley as spares, 5253/54 to Washington 5/50 this will allow continuation of fleet numbers at both depots.

Then 5261 to 5274 for the 11/19

Maybe 1 to Stanley as spare - as having 5251/52 would only leave 5274 as a spare for the 11 and 19, meaning they would have to retain a couple of Eclipses/Solars.
