Any pictures?
The E200 are in corporate swoops and have small vinyls on the N/S and O/S rear windows promoting the Stagecoach Bus app. Think there is to be few variations, each with some sort local theme I understand.
26065 is SN66WLV.

Seems to dot between North East and the North West, Though its officially based in Carlisle I believe.
Came across it in a industrial estate in North Carlisle on driver training there when I was at Eddie Stobart's depot.

Assuming it is used as a trainer on a regular basis, it could explain its sightings in the North East, especially with Sandy Lane being just to the north of that photo. I can't remember the most recent test routes unfortunately.
Is it just me that can't help noticing the Stockton depot 36 (Middlesbrough - Hartlepool) more often than not runs in two's or even three's... it annoys me how passengers ignore the empty bus running along side a packed one and get on the packed one delaying it more, then the empty one gets stuck behind the packed one then one behind catches up and UGGH then there is 3 running together the back 2 of which are empty so UGGGHHH OCCCDDDDDD
Stockton depot is now (very sadly) free from Deckers - 17025/6/8/9/32 were collected on Thursday, destination presently unknown.

30/31/36 - sounds like the 71 will take the extra two when not needed. They're 11.8m in length, 41 seaters, over 44 in the E300 SC spec models like the Shields' ones. The 03/53 plate ALX300 are 42 seating for comparison.
26067/68/71/73 were delivered over the weekend.

Yeah not as small as i originally thought once i looked into them. Do they come with the same seats as the E400 MMC .?

Yes the seats are the same, This is the new corporate spec for all Stagecoach deliveries from the end of the last financial year ( Glasgow's E300s were the first to receive them last year)

From 1st December is the date pencilled in.

They haven't been used for a while. One lasted until 22026 entered service.

It dose my head in the 36 I just to get work I always get the 14.00 from hartlepool and everytime it's always hour later must of been 3 of them went down turned round at asda only one came back up every week 36 is getting worse everytime I ring stagecoach to complain or leave message on twitter they don't seem to care
Yes. I said at the Stockton bus forum last week that they needed deckers but the Stagecoach bloke disagreed. Even the 1850 ex M'bro last night had a standing load. As long as they get the money they're happy. Wish there was some competition.
I always say that stockton should have E400 on the be on 36. When they were Cleveland transit alway had double deckers on the 36.

Stagecoach use 4 in newcastle. All out of walkergate. As Stagecoach have there own examiner they chose there own test routes. No tests of any sort use sandy lane due to this.
