Might be little time before we see any of the MMC in paint shop other than the plain white ones. South Shields & Stockton e300 connect the dots vehicles seam to be the priority after the branded economics at Sunderland have been finished. Gas buses would be on list but not sure they know which way would suit. Kind regards

I saw a BBC branded bus in Sunderland Depot today - double decker, passing doing a ?♂️ run. Is it here for a paint job or maintenance?
That should say ‘run’ . Emoji error !!

Definitely not doing them in the order they were due - many of Sunderland's E300s had only very recently received fresh repaints to th eold corporate livery toremove the Es branding.

When is 19385 due for repaint? Don't imagine it being too long as it is the only bus to still have the club 22 livery.
29 Oct 2020, 9:18 pm
27252 (SN65OCP) arrived at Sunderland tonight for the local livery

Saying on stagecoach on Teesside buses times 26280 and 27253 have being repainted local livery.
10 Nov 2020, 3:27 pm
Hi glen I wouldn’t take that as gospel as anyone can submit a change on there even incorrect info. I noted that 37304 had disappeared from there last month from South Shields listed vehicles. Turned out someone had edited the vehicles info to state it was a Lancashire based bus (which it wasn’t) of course I had it amended and sure enough within a few hours it was back in the correct area. Hope this info helps
Kind regards

Sunderland based 19643 has been repainted into local livery (Nov 2020) although I thought it should have gotten the long distance livery as it takes the passengers outside the place they live.

Also long distance vehicles tend to be a higher spec which the X34 batch of 4 E400s aren’t.

Sunderland ADL E300 27726 has returned to service following repaint.
Hartlepool ADL E200 36086 and Stockton ADL E300 27164 are currently at Sunderland Depot according to Bus Times (presumably for repaint).

Any of Newcastles lot at Sunderland for repaint, last one i heard about being there was 12061

It looks like Gas Bus 28003 could be getting a repaint? For the past few days it has been tracking over the paint shop area of the depot. It is (or now was) still in the "it's a gas" livery.
It will be interesting to see how the new local livery will look on the Gas Buses, taking the pod on the roof into account.

Still tracking in the depot, at the paint shop, according to bustimes.org, it seems to be taking a while to get it repainted.

Looks like it only went into the paint shop on Thursday afternoon. Will have been getting prepped before that in the end bay. No doubt it will take longer with it being the first one to be done

This also means that the deckers can be used on other "local" routes in sunderland and not subject to the limited days and times of X24/X34 (Mon - Sat)

I think it is because if you look at the enviro 200MMC nationally for stagecoach it has the most variations, so probably why they haven't repainted any yet. Correct me if I am wrong

One of first vehicles in uk to receive the new livery was an e200 mmc possibly Sheffield/Doncaster area. It’s just an incorrect edit Log on bustimes. I think the fact that that teesides are still nigh on brand new and had sub branding added may suggest they could be one of the last batches to be repainted.

A Sunderland Gas Bus has been repainted in the new livery, was on the 10 today.
