Good news announced this morning that Stagecoach NE have been awarded £305601 towards 17 Eco buses for Sunderland, this will be the Scania E300 gas buses previously mentioned.

The initial dates set last year were 29th November - 13th December 2013. The next batch of E200's for Sunderland is due earlier in Oct/Nov.

So theres the 17 scania E300 gas buses for Sunderland and some E200's... wow were being loaded with new buses, might see all the old man and some darts moved else where.

How many E200's will be delivered?

21 E200s due.

I would assume the older MANs will be displaced from the Gas E300s. But some of Sunderland's Pointer Darts were lightly speculated at one point to see off the ALX Darts at Walkergate/Slatyford with the arrival of the new E200s.

Time will tell what moves where, as I've had no official confirmation on what will be displaced, but Sunderland do have much more non-DDA stuff to replace that Newcastle.

Wow, were getting 38 new buses, didnt expect that like.

Hopefully all 38 will be in service by december 2013

For anyone after Stockton's remaining Olympians, this week would be the best time to find them out in service as it's half term week and therefore they'll be allocated on service from the start of service.

Sunderland Echo today:

Seen a Enviro 400 in Sunderland earlier tonight, around 6pm... Dunno which E service it was on.

All interwork anyway, don't they? I saw it (can't remember which one now, as I didn't get a photo) on the E6.
