Just want to say that south shields just had two lost e200 and e300 over last the two year of new buses and I think it time stagecoach on teesside to get new on because there mans are 15 years old and thet need replaceing and that what I think in sundland are just send mans to stcokton to replace our bad conditons buses and only tepmraly
Cheers Glen123 I agree with that bit of Info. Regards Robin

Can I point out - the 33 is at present a commercially operated service. Certain journeys are funded by Nexus. What is happening is that Stagecoach have reviewed the service and decided to withdraw the service as it isn't commercially viable anymore - as such Nexus have stepped in to retain the service.
22202 was involved in a coming together with Arriva Cadet 1914 in Middlesbrough this afternoon. While not badly damaged I wouldn't at all be surprised to see it withdrawn with fully serviceable replacements readily available.

More on that story can be seen
here. Hope all of the passengers, and especially the drivers are going to make a good and speedy recovery as the drivers had to be cut out of the bus by firefighters.
I was amazed to see a Olympian on the 52 today! Just a shame I had to pop to the shops from school otherwise I would have got on it, but it wasn't all bad I got on a E300 (the one that rattles between 0-5 MPH).
Also can I just say, I generally don't think the ALX300's are that bad in Stockton, yes their old and moan a bit but their still in good nick - and I'm not just talking about the 03/54 ones!

So does that mean someone will run it on the behalf of Nexus,
I.e Arriva possibley, or is this yet to be determined.

Kingsleys are to operate the service.

That would be 24102 (which is still on there right now, on the last trip into Stockton).

Not true. All journeys currently operated by Stagecoach on the 33 are done so under contract to Nexus although the arrangement does mean that Stagecoach take the revenue risk.
MX12EDC seen heading south on the A1 between Chester Le Street and Durham around 7.30am this morning.
Does anyone know if it has left the north east fleet?

Does anyone know what fleet numbers the new E200 will receive that are for South Shields
I'd also like to add that 33488 is at South Shields to provide as many parts as possible for 33101/33492
Hi are stagecoach on Teesside due any new buses this years.

I am unable to say too much at the moment Glen, but in a word, the answer to your question is Yes & they are likely to be used on Services 36, 37 & 38.
Kind Regards, Richard

33488 was withdrawn from service around 2 Weeks ago with a Broken Chassis, so I guess they are getting what they can from it.
There are only a few left of the type now
33101/33492 - at South Shields (Reserve Fleet)
33491 - at Hartlepool (Reserve Fleet)

I am not aware of any New E200s going to South Shields this year, the only thing lined up for the Busways Group are the Outstanding 23 Scania GAS buses, due for delivery in May.
South Shields is getting 2 E200 trust me
We are, me and mrnut85 are very much in the know

Richard, it's already been posted on here thanks to big mouth....I mean tyresmoke
(06 Mar 2014, 9:25 am)tyresmoke wrote [ -> ]Certainly being spread around the drivers now that Stockton are getting 25 ADL Enviro 300 for the 36/37/38 group of services. This should enable 25 ALX300s to be withdrawn, with the MAN E300s expected to be cascaded onto Middlesbrough based services 11/12/14/34
As for E200s for South Shields, may I draw attention to this:
(06 Mar 2014, 8:17 pm)Dan wrote [ -> ]In addition to the gas buses, they are the only other buses coming to the North East via direct investment. Other buses could still make their way to the North East fleet by cascades from other regions though, as the North West is certainly expecting quite a number of vehicles...
If these E200s are to replace 33101/492, I think the vehicles won't be new and probably won't be E200s
