This vehicle has transferred from Sunderland Depot to Stockton, in a reserve capacity, to be prepared for service prior to the launch of the new X55 express service on Saturday 20th May 2017.
Having been involved in a fatal collision resulting in the death of a taxi driver and severe damage to the bus, this vehicle has moved from Slatyford to Slatyford (Reserve). It is thought that the vehicle is unlikely to return to service at Slatyford, due to the extent of the accident damage. As such; pending the repair of other MAN 18.240LF/ADL Enviro 300 in the fleet at Slatyford, the allocation for service 100 is revised to operate with 2x MAN 18.240LF/ADL Enviro 300 and 2x MAN 18.220LF/Transbus ALX300.

This vehicle has transferred from Stockton's Driver Training fleet to Walkergate's Driver Training fleet, as a replacement for 20554 (P554 ESA) which was withdrawn last month.
Due to Volvo B10M-55/Alexander PS 20554 (P554 ESA) being withdrawn from Walkergate's Driver Training fleet, this vehicle will transfer to Walkergate to replace it. It has undergone repaint into Stagecoach's Driver Training livery prior to transfer.
As a result of network revisions in Newcastle which saw a total PVR reduction of 14 vehicles (6 at Slatyford and 8 at Walkergate), this vehicle has transferred from Walkergate Depot to Slatyford. In a bid to improve reliability and offer a more direct route, service 62 is revised to operate direct via West Farm Avenue rather than serving Blackfriars Way, resulting in the PVR rising by one vehicle at Slatyford Depot on this service.
