Do you know what’s happening with the last 6 mmc’s? I’m going to assume they’re keeping them until they can get the roll out of Yutongs going again

Have been anymore Delivery of Stockton new Electric yutongs I know there is 2 25reg of come so far.

I am sorry if upset anyone on page if I on stagecoach Stockton new Electric yutongs I Apologize

26289 is at Walkergate. Anyone know the situation with that? Would have assumed all the 262**’s would have been going to Slatyford?

Edit: I could be a loan as it’s still got Cleveland Transit legals on the bus. Image attached.

Edit again: turns out it has swapped with 27252 and Walkergate will be getting 2 more to replace 27253 & 27254. Did not expect Walkergate to get some thought they’d all be going to Slatyford. Be interesting to see what 3 272’s go from Slatyford for the last 3 262’s at Stockton. Would imagine 27246 would be one as it’s still Stockton branded. And where will Slatyford get other E200mmc’s from to replace the other 27’s as apparently we are replacing them all with 26***’s

Slatyford due 3 more 262’s from Stockton As Walkergate are receiving 3 from them then have 5 more buses to replace plus maybe a couple more to send the 277’s back to Sunderland. From what I’ve been told we are getting E200mmc’s from other depots about the same age as the 69 plate 262’s from Stockton. Anyone know where abouts these might come from?

26289 is confirmed as only being on-loan to Walkergate - 27252 hasn’t made the journey south. Let’s not forget it is Cheltenham week this week………
No more of Stockton’s MMCs will be leaving until all of the initial batch of Yutongs enter service.

Yeah once I posted that I found out 26289 was a loan vehicle due to Cheltenham. 

Do you know how long until Stockton can start getting more Yutongs in service?

Does anyone know, are 27727,27731,27735,27736&27737 all loans to Slatyford from Sunderland? I really hope they are they’re awful things to drive

Any idea which vehicles will be heading south for their holidays this year?

East Midlands 18317 is currently sat in Sunderland depot

Confirmed tonight that the remaining MMC’s as well as 37314/5/6 are to go to Newcastle with 27180/81 - 27238/240/43/45/46/48/50 coming the other way over the next 2 weeks

Why are Stockton new yutongs taking so long enter service I been in service by now ?

The exact same reason you got the answer to last week

Charging ports and the infrastructure has hit a delay - this is done by an outside company and will be done, quite frankly when it’s done.

stagecoach Stockton new Electric yutongs why they are wanting for Charges are getting done new yutongs Could gone Sunderland for repaint in new livery then go into service when charges are done.

The paint shop works on a painting schedule - they aren’t going to paint brand new buses when there are buses looking abysmal driving around

Ok mate

Did not expect any E200’s to come up since we’re losing the 35 in a couple of weeks. 37315 is here and in service. 27245 is leaving tonight, unsure what for?

From an outsider it doesn't seem like anyone has a clue what the plan really is. The fleet is allover the place the past few weeks, notice Wheatsheaf have pretty much a full E300 allocation on the 10, 11 and 23 the past few days with the E200's running around everywhere aswell.

I assume the 64/65 Plates are going to Sunderland at some point, the E200's god knows.

It does make you wonder if the 10/11 & 23 are now being operated by E300s if more of the E200s are due to depart in the future. 10 seems excessive to cover the PVR of the 8. 

Does seem strange that they are swapping 65 plate Euro 5 E300s for E200s between Stockton and Slatyford. Surely they won't be hanging around long at Slatyford

Yeah agreed, just doesn't seem much sense. Obviously there's still the Darts to go but there seems to be too many buses free. Wonder if there is some plans to get rid of some of the oldest E200's potentially, they are getting on a bit now and there's nothing realistically due to replace them, especially at Hartlepool with the size issues.

I was thinking that but with 36081 getting repainted it does make you wonder. Although it wouldn't be the first time for them to repaint a bus that was due for withdrawal. 

Also to note 28022/23/24/26/30 have not tracked for several days now. Could these also be withdrawn?

37314/5/6 moving up is a very short term move with them being Euro6

Nah they’ll probably stick around mate since they’re Euro 6 probably see a few of the 364**’s heading off when we lose the 35 potentially to Hartlepool or South Shields see off some of the darts

Enjoy 37315, 38MPH tops - pity who ever took that up!

Damn. Hopefully spends the majority of its time on the 32/32A then. Stockton probably got rid of that one first on purpose then haha.

27245 and 26288 have swapped.

27730 has arrived at Slatyford unsure why but seems 27731 has gone back

Edit: 27238 is also down in Stockton I’m guessing that’s swapped with 26279.

27252 is in service at Sunderland on the 23
