It hasnt been used in service since its hartlepool days and i doubt it would be out and about considering most depots have spares.
I gather its up to stagecoach if they want to use it

Any sign of those 22/5's in service at Stockton yet or are they still in Sunderland depot.

Hi know still at sunderland I think have not see any yet in service the 03 man still in service at Stockton.

Haven't flicked through the pages, I don't even know when they were brought in, but I'm really liking SNE newcastle streetdecks. Not rode one, but look smart.

They look identical to GNE's streetdecks from what I see, thanks for that.

No problem

The first E400s to transfer to Cumbria from Slatyford are 19141 and 44, Both have been noted at Carlisle Depot.
Both were displaced by New Enviro400MMCs, Which were new entered service earlier this month.

Will these ever make it on the 685 as it gets pretty full sometimes

The short journeys possibly but there is a low bridge on the route

There isn't a low bridge on the route, Dexckers are permitted on the route but it is pretty demanding for a Double Decker.

Cheers. Might head over to Carlisle soon to see if they're out. Suppose Carlisle to newcastle is pretty demanding considering the route and roads

19142 is also going to the Cumbria and North Lancashire fleet.

(26 Aug 2016, 7:46 pm)Brian13 wrote [ -> ]And 19156

19156 is for East Scotland.

You won't find them in Carlisle - currently appears they are heading to Morecambe as Trident replacements there.

Cheers. I'll get a train to Carlisle from sunderland then make my way down there to maybe catch a few tridents too.

No low bridges (used to be on one of the lesser used alterations to the route) but the main thing stopping deckers on 685 is low hanging trees in quite good quantities at various places; especially coming into Corbridge from the east.

ALX300's to replace tridents in the long run, Kinetic on trial in Slatyford (service 100) if the bus is durable enough they will still come to Stockton. Some ALX300's won't see service but will stay in Stockton depot until they find a new home.

How many tridents do we have left in service and how many are going to get withdrawn

17029 Is only out on service as it's been reported a lot this month

Thank for that info mate

When will the tridents be withdrawn and what will replace them.

Nothing as the schools have been withdrawn they are keeping 1 or 2 ATM due to shortages that also may explain why 22912,14 are there

How many man's are going to be enter service at Stockton if than are going to be.

Cheers. Explains why I haven't seen them for a while.

Just been on the E1 and it took 1 hour to get from sunderland to Horsley hill. Was jam packed and 20 minutes late also to top things off the heaters were on full blast. Definitely need deckers soon. Shame the Slatyford ones went down south etc.
