Passed it earlier on 18.

According to a member of the "Stagecoach North East Bus Enthusiasts" Facebook Group, ADL E400 19148 is VOR due to having an engine fire, and MAN ALX300 22666 is at the rear of Slatyford depot awaiting disposal.

That would fit with the post citaro5284 made about a bus fit sure it was Killingworth.
Presumably using it as a shortcut, one of the 60 reg E400's was seen on Saltmeadows Road tonight.
Either that or they're checking out some journey times along there Wink

Apologies for poor photo quality.[attachment=7283]

Roadworks on the Felling By Pass causing gridlock, so lets find a quicker way.  On a morning Saltmeadows Road is one hell of a rat run at the best of times.

It is like. You might be able to make out the black Solar behind, stuck in the queue too.
I don't think the college has helped.

It was always bad enough crossing the road to get to the bakery on Albany Road at dinnertime and that was a few years back now.

Assuming he was trying to avoid the traffic. Wasn't having much luck!

If you look for it in the fleet list on here, its down as:
SEPTEMBER 15

This vehicle has moved from Hartlepool (Reserve) to Hartlepool (Awaiting Disposal)
(05 Oct 2015, 8:49 pm)Kuyoyo wrote [ -> ]34401 is also staying in the North East fleet in a reserve allocation - depot not yet confirmed. Hartlepool's 34568/9 have already departed for West Scotland while 34606 will follow once repairs are completed. 34566/608 have entered service at Stagecoach South's Guildford depot.

Did you miss my post Michael - 34401 is now back in the NE reserve fleet but the depot isn't confirmed. However, I doubt it will be South Shields considering they already have 34611. No doubt it will remain at Hartlepool (Stockton, after all, still have 22014/5)

I didn't miss it (after all, I used that post to update the vehicles sold) - I was just waiting for the Fleet Allocation to confirm it. Not keen on changing the Stagecoach stuff in between!

That's how it should be. Can't just update it based on tittle tattle.
Here'a full list for what was out at Hartlepool yesterday;

6,7 35158/9/61/2, 39658/61/2/3/6/7/75, 39711/2/3/4

Visible in depot (+ 22455, 34561/2/7) 39671, 39710 (possibly others inside)

Unseen 39659/64/5
Is 22675 the last of 22656-75 still in use at Busways now?

Fleet lists updated accordingly - the depot will show as 'Sold' for 22480 until the new Fleet Archive feature for sold vehicles is rolled out to the Stagecoach fleet list.

Robin, Dan doesn't know everything.
Do you know Michael if 34401 is at South Shields to stay or for refit.
