Has now been taken out of service - which is irritating because I wanted a ride of it back to Sunderland!

(22 Jun 2014, 11:44 am)AIG20 wrote [ -> ]19194 is also on the "E" services. It should have left Harton Nook towards South Shields about now.

In addition, 39710 and 39714 are on the 7/8. I think services 3/4 are also MAN E200 operated as well.

19196 was in the depot earlier, and as 19197 was taken out of service, that means 19194 is now the only E400 out on Economics.

Not like late running is the excuse for 19197's removal from service - it arrived into South Shields a minute early!

I'm not 100% but it didn't look like a replacement vehicle had been organised either. Certainly didn't turn up on-time, if there was.

22486 on 36, while 24114 is on 12/14

34550 on 7s whilst a MAN E200 is on 1s in Hartlepool

A second MAN E200 is on 1s today too, alongside 22731.

22046 destination at the back is jammed on '47', i believe its operating the 31, the side and front were correct however.

36-branded E300 24106 has just replaced an ALX300 on the 37

What time did you see 22731 on the 1 Dan and which way was it going?

1030 on the main road in Hartlepool where all of the buses go, heading into the town centre.

Hope you can work it out from that?

That be Victoria Road? If so, I can (and hopefully it is through Boro before 1720)

Second stop for the X35 going back to Sunderland? If so, yes - Victoria Road.

Yeah, that would be Victoria Road

And now 24108 joins 24106 on 37s.

22196 also on 36s, doing an all nighter as well (2319 from Hartlepool to Stockton)

37-branded 22062 is now on the 36 (presumably what 24108 replaced on 37s)

(20 Jun 2014, 11:28 am)Kuyoyo wrote [ -> ]Yeah, the 0814 and 0826 departures from Stockton (which arrive back at 0848 and 0900) work off the Macmillan school runs on schooldays. As does the 0824 52 from Owington Farm. As such, the buses that do the 0838, 0850 and 0902 58s (which are the 3 buses that will be operating on the 58s now) each get a 12 minutes layover in Stockton from arriving off the 52 to going out on the 58.

Decker on a 58 near North Tees heading towards Stockton now.
Not just mornings by the looks of it - or does it run onto a scholars?

Presumably sent out as a changeover earlier in the day - as the deckers are defect checked first thing before the school runs, they are there and ready as spare buses until the afternoon departures for schools.
The only day where a PM School run comes off a daytime board is Wednesdays when the Asda Free Bus 468 run until later than Thursday and Friday, as such the driver goes light from Lingdale back to Macmillan to work the 308s (having worked the 307 on the morning).

17032 - it's been out since lunchtime at least, seen it a few times

On it now. Sounding as rough as ever :p.

22735 on service 62.

BIB: not exactly a rare or odd working, older MANs are normal on everything. A working of note as 22473 will be a target of most Teesside enthusiasts at present.

A MAN E200 is also on the "E" services and I think 22734 was on the X34 today as well.

27723 was on 17/8

27731 worked a half service 12 to cover the late running service in front of it.

Probably the rarest working that Shields have done so far.

22075 is having a run out on the Metro Centre shuttle today.
