35189 is currently at Sunderland depot- looks to be freshly painted so is presumably off to a new home away from the north east
34605 is parked up round the back in the corner where it has been for about a week, so looks to have finally been withdrawn

Hi 34563 is at Stockton any more coming to stockton then because on the 13.

Sunderland may be a gas bus down today. Saw one on the A19 at Portrack. Driven by a driver (rather than fitter), but displaying NIS.

Thank for info mate

17239 looking absolutely fantastic:

Yes was on the 4s today, it must have been VOR for awhile though as I hadn't seen it since the service changes till the end of last week

Is 34563 actually in service at stockton depot?

Quite surprisingly 35189 has now entered service at Sunderland and is on the 18 today

34562 finally made it's way over to Carlisle yesterday after being made roadworthy, freshly painted but covered in oil by the time it arrived.
Just 34565 to go which is also being made roadworthy.

Hi I thought those buses no 34563 would come to Stockton for service is it on loan or is there going to be more of them coming.

I assume this has replaced 34605?

I wonder if 34611 will be replaced at South Shields?

According to Steven Knight Media - Fleet News Ramblings:

·         Stagecoach Highlands MAN E300s 22784/87 are being transferred to Stagecoach North East.
·         MAN ALX300 22015 is for disposal.
·         Reserve Pointer Dart 35189 is now allocated to Sunderland Depot
·         Open Top Leyland Olympians 14670/73 have been sold to a private buyer.
·         Open Top Dennis Trident 17239 has entered service

I wonder what route the MAN E300s are for and are more coming?

Hi are they for Newcastle again E300 22784'87 for services 100.

Highly unlikely, when if I remember rightly, a bus is being taken out of the PVR of the 100 very shortly...

34563 has moved from its previous parking spot to the corner where the decker used to Park and has been joined by another - 34401.

Two MANs could be replacement for the final two Kinetic, 22510/11, as word was they'd have up on them for the foreseeable. Not really chased that wibble up.

34565 landed at Carlisle last night....towed in from A69, crank shaft gone. Looks to be going back to NE for yet more repairs.

Slatyford really is the depot of many vehicle types. I don't envy their engineering department. Is it 9 different ones?

Well all the MANviro and Kinetics are pretty much the same underneath. Hence why they keep getting lumped with them for standardisation.

Hi is 34563'34401 at Stockton depot.

See post #17 on the previous page...

The start of the spring season CS1 started today, with 17239 making it's service debut. Many noises, not much speeds...

Hi are the buses 34563'34401 going to replace 03 man at Stockton going to be spare buses.

The two Darts are NOT for service - they are most likely at Stockton for storage (they are parked nose-in, normal for non-serviceable and disposal vehicles). Stockton is currently home to most of the reserve and dispsoal fleet in the North East (Flowers is full of ex-Newcastle MANs hence a further 7 sat out in the yard).

Hi I ready it on another page that why ask the questions on buses 34563 was on 13

It was not on the 13 - the first mention of it being in Stockton yard clearly states that the poster was going past the depot on a 13 and 34563 was parked in the yard.

Hi I think made a mistake

I used to work in an office just off Barrack Rd. Without fail, I'd hear the bloody squeaks and groans of those old Olympians. It was better than a clock. 17329 can't be any worse.

34605 is back out in service in Sunderland, Was on the 18s this morning
