Robin,
The movements taking place have been confirmed now by someone else several times - see the post on the link below:
https://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showt...p?tid=2175&pid=222067#pid222067
When further movements take place, I am sure someone will post to confirm. In the mean time, you don't need to ask the same questions repeatedly, as this may annoy some other members of the forum. I hope that's ok.
Waited all the way til the 25th to make a new thread,oh dear

I'm sorry, but can the forum team not have a life outside of this community? I myself have been abroad for the past fortnight, and in the lead up to that was putting in extra hours at work before commencing annual leave.
It really isn't that much of an issue that the thread title says the name of the previous month - what hardship does it cause?
For anybody interested 36082 is still in service at Sunderland and is operating service 4 at the moment.

Thanks for wasting my time asking the question? Robin
If you read the reply, it wasn't me who replied to your post.
Is there anymore news about stagecoach north east buses are apart from news we haved for a couple of days now
I hate to wade into this incident but I think it's gone on a bit too far now. People should recognise that this is a public forum and that any member is entitled to post whatever they wish and should not receive hate, aggression or sarcasm etc for doing so. At the same time, I think those who post questions repeatedly or ask if there is any news all the time should also reconsider doing so. One of the main functions of the forum in my opinion is to share news amongst the community. And thus if there is news, it will be shared. Asking if something is going to happen, (when it has already been established it will occur in due course) is a pointless waste of everyones time, especially the person posting, because if you just wait patiently for the event in question to actually happen, someone will surely post an update to this very forum that a certain transfer etc. has occurred. By continually asking, it won't make it happen any quicker! I hope everyone involved considers their actions and attempts in future to try and think before posting so as to help try and maintain the friendly atmosphere and nature that this forum prides itself on.
Regards, Peter
In a bid to try and generate a bit of other discussion - barely that noteworthy but I noticed one of the SUNderland Bus branded Enviro200s in Grangetown yesterday showing "11 Pennywell Quarry V" as the terminus on the destination display. A seemingly recent update, none of the other buses seemed to show that on the route.

They have been like that for a little while now, although it doesn't seem to be used very often with 'Pennywell' being the preferred choice. Im assuming there is 2 end destinations fitted for some reason and the drivers are just picking either?

Bizarre! Never seen the Quarry View one before - just looked odd to be honest and couldn't quite work out why they'd show that.
In other news, hasn't been noted here yet and I'm unsure how recently it happened, but 24114/15 have definitely had their wrap vinyls for the Great Exhibition removed. I saw 24114 today, lacking Stagecoach logos, and looking a bit tattier than is the norm for Stagecoach!
22412 also noted at the rear of Slatyford Depot; without a ticket machine, headlight hanging out, wiper missing and front bonnet hanging off. MOT still valid till February 2019. Anyone have any ideas if this one is just long-term VOR and donating spare parts to other ALX300s in the meantime, or whether it has in fact been withdrawn?
22080 was similarly noted at the rear of the depot, minus ticket machine and with a red VOR wheel cover, but looking in somewhat better condition than 22412.

I don't know as I don't work at Stagecoach, why don't you just wait and see.

24114/5 looked to have been done last week, hopefully due in for repaint.
22412 has been long-term VOR for nearly 2 months now, it'll be back at some point it's still got depreciation costs attached.
Not sure about 22080, but should be back in the short term. Ticket machines get taken out when they're VOR on the back fence.
Another to note, 22510 is back on the road now after a length absence.
