34401?

53 reg Transbus Dart that spent the majority of its life at Shields ( In Service )
Was unusual with being the only 53 reg Dart and numbered in the same series as the older ALX200 Darts.
Worked alongside the 346 prefix darts at Shields years ago.

34401 started and spent the first 5 and a half years of its life at Stockton.
It transferred to Shields when 24101-15 arrived.
Transferred to Hartlepool in early 2013 (after 3 and a half years at Shields) before being displaced from there last year.
So, in terms of service life, it spent more time at Stockton than anywhere else.

34605 has just gone past mine and it sounds terrible, sounds like it'll fail any minute.

Hopefully Stagecoach is alerted to the fact they got the vehicle type WRONG!

The Stagecoach Bus People website is up and running now - looks like there will be four variants of the branding with The Organiser yet to be seen.

Is the stagecoach 12 supposed to go into vicarage close terminus just spotted it leaving heading towards Doxford park. I thought it was supposed to just go past the health centre

It was said a mere 4 days ago that 22515 was being trialled on the 100 at Slatyford to see if it's even worth using the batch at all...if there is no news then nobody can tell you any news...Please try to refrain from asking about the batch every other day, you have to admit...it get's repetitive! When there is news then it will be posted here in this very thread!

He was making a joke regarding the fact that you used to repetitively asked about it's whereabouts, which really may have led someone to believe that it was indeed your favourite...no harm done really!

Sorry to ask because this may have already been asked but when will the new E400s enter service?

9/24 of the new E400's have arrived in Newcastle so far with 2 on delivery:


10631 (SN16OXP) Walkergate
10632 (SN16OXR) Walkergate
10633 (SN16OXS) Walkergate
10634 (SN16OXZ) Walkergate
10636 (SN16OYB) Walkergate
10637 (SN16OYC) Walkergate
10641 (SN16OYG) Slatyford (on delivery)
10642 (SN16OYH) Slatyford
10643 (SN16OYJ) Slatyford
10645 (SN16OYL) Slatyford
106** (SN16OYT) (on delivery)

So look like we are keeping 03 man but long then or we meet get some 54'55 man from Newcastle to replace 03 man at Stockton if there withdrawn.

10631 is out on the 62/63 today
