I'm surprised to see that 10645 managed to evade them, mind! But a photo is in the post above.

It didn't evade me, Driver was canny and let me in the cab and get various photos of it from different angles while on Layover at Chapel House. That will be on Flickr after.

Also got 16034 at Balliol Buissness Park on the X63, That's going on Flickr too when I get in.
With the new E400MMC's starting to enter service has any of the older E400's been withdrawn, if so which ones?

It has been mentioned that the e400s will NOT see use at Stockton, however some MANs may come from Slatyford (preferably 22031 Tongue )
The 07 reg buses saw some canny mileage and some drivers cained them especially on the 62,served us well and a fond farewell(19163 19193)

Should of give Sunderland some deckers it's been a while
10631 and 10632 both taken out of service on Blackett Street, due to "problems" with the buses.

We've been sent 22011 to replace. Not a great start!

Dear Sir,

Do we know exactly where 19141 -162 will end up as apart from Scotland and maybe Carlisle, everywhere is South of Newcastle.

Cheers.

19141-8 are bound for Cumbria and North Lancashire - reports suggest they are heading to the back end of beyond otherwise known as Barrow
19158-63/93 are bound for Stagecoach South.
Just 19149-57 whose future allocation is not known - was talk at one stage Lincolnshire and Yorkshire were due some.

Hi Peter. I've merged your thread into the 'Stagecoach North East: Latest' thread for August. We use monthly discussion threads for the region's big three, rather than individual threading. Smile

I hope you enjoyed your visit to Newcastle. I was pleasantly surprised by the new E400MMCs, and it's not a bad run up to Killingworth on the X63. The lakes there make for a cracking photo spot too.
