The ALX swap will be for the 200MMC, 17 for 18 22341-22444 unknown if the 54 plates will survive. 22018/26 most definitely wont.
Rather interestingly on this discussion, Slatyford's 26078 is presently working for Stockton depot - having arrived on Tuesday night, it was parked in the yard yesterday morning and has entered service today initially on a 10/12/14/39 cycle working before eventually working its way onto the 36.
Is it on loan to Stockton depot 26078.
22018 is getting transferred from Walkergate to Stockton on Sunday not sure if it’s temporary or permanent

Anyone know if 22024 is still around at Walkergate? Sure I read somewhere about it going but now can't find where/when I read it!
22018 and 36977 are now at Stockton depot - the E200 entered service last night on the late 10/101 turn and is out on 35s today
Why are the buses 26078 and 22018 36977 are at Stockton depot?
22018 transfer as the euro rating next year
Thanks you for info mate
Probably more breakdowns than usual at Stockton
26078 is reportedly on-loan as cover while 26284 is away on Commonwealth Games work.
22018 and 36977 are transfers ahead of the return to normal weekday service levels on the 13th June - for the first time since October. Of course, Stockton are now short of vehicles compared to then (22063/4 both been withdrawn, plus the extra requirements for the 101) hence these additional vehicles.
Several of Sunderland's ADL E300s have gained rear branding:

27728 and 27734 have gained adverts for STACK
27731, 27735, 27737 and 27740 have gained adverts for Seaburn Beach

22024 is still at Walkergate getting work done on it and 22026 still waiting to go through its MOT
Any idea what this ex SC London e400 is doing up here and why it looks so odd - weird rear wheels and metal visible inside the bottom rear window….

22063 was tracking in service last week - or was it just a rogue ticket machine?  Seems a bit odd to withdraw it just ahead of a PVR increase?

I did think when the poster captioned them Ex Metrocity he must’ve meant Metroline, but then the interior shot having SC moquette visible threw me.

Thanks for the link.
“It’s a hydrogen converted demo. In a few weeks it’ll be wrapped in bubbles livery similar to the blue gas buses. Not confirmed of who will be getting it or future use”

This was posted by Stagecoach employee Harry Barker on the Stagecoach North East Enthusiasts Group on Facebook on the E400 that’s at Sunderland Depot.

No worries, find the push of Hydrogen down Teesside interesting, hopefully it work's out well and we see it more up here especially at the Arriva Northumbria depots as realistically they're going to be the only realistic option for most the routes unless battery tech improves massively.
It appears a second E200 has now landed at Stockton from Sunderland in the form of 36967 - working 52/61s today

Seems an odd choice- presuming they are only temporary until the likes of 22024/6 arrive from Walkergate?
