Test run, turned back at the A182, often work through to Seaham and Seaham Grange, then back A19. This one just used A19 each way.

My guess would be the next move involving 22890 and 27248 once 22890 has had the work needed to make it roadworthy and repaint. It’s going to take a long time to transfer all the buses I’d imagine most of the year.

Thanks for info mate

Tbh just do big swaps every sunday

Then it would be done quicker

When will the ex highland vehicles that landed at Sunderland be in use

not sure but 4 more landed today

22428 received a new engine hence why it was off the road since July last year. Unsure or what engine it got but I don’t believe it’s Euro 6 so should still end up leaving Newcastle. 

Whatever engine it is it’s left it down on power to the point where it is not allowed on the fastline services, where the ALX300’s spend most of their time, due to only doing 30mph on the central motorway yet it’s on them today it should be allocated to 71/72 the the foreseeable future

ooh i might get a chance to ride it then

hopefully Newcastle and slatyford in particular is due some new single deck vehicles at some point, the ex Stockton E300s seem to do well on the 685, I don't know if any of the MMCs have been on it yet. i cant see the 09 E300s lasting on the 685 if they ever got allocated to it

I’ve heard from a fellow driver at Slatyford that 22408,409,411,412&413 are all due to go sometime in March. I’d imagine the others 22428,443,444,570,574,580,581 will join them as well.

That's right.

As noted in the Repaints thread, 22887 entered service at Stockton yesterday on the short 12 running board.

As posted on ‘Stagecoach UK Enthusiasts’ Facebook Group by Danny Howard, 27805/9 are both now at Stockton undergoing pre-use checks. I would suggest the majority of the Highlands examples might be Stockton bound in this case - although their interior spec means they only have a wheelchair bay rather than both a Wheelchair Bay and a Pushchair bay.

Thanks for info mate

22580-SP08DDN has now arrived at Stockton

Im gonna go to the depot today see what else is there

27238 gone the other way

And that's not the only 2015 E300 making its first appearance in Newcastle today - Carlisle now have ex-Glasgow E300 27226 from Morecambe depot (in exchange for 24124 - the last PX59 plate MAN in the Cumbria and North Lancs fleet) which is now on the ex-Arriva turn on the 685. For anyone unaware, 27211-28 were the first batch of the last E300s delivered to Stagecoach in 2015 and were unique in being the only Euro6 examples built.

I’m surprised 24121 and 27181 got swapped half way through the day. Things seem to be happening quicker than expected.

Have not seen 39663 or 39668 for a few days and bus times says that both last seen service a week ago so it looks like both have been withdrawn which is a shame because both where both where better than some of 09 and 61 plate enviros where the majority now seem to be struggling.

27812-SV62BZL is now at Stockton

Has anyone get photos of 27812 and 27805,9 at Stockton depot?

Thanks for info mate and photos

I think buses time need update the ex stagecoach Highland 27805,9 and 27812 are in repaint get repaint

Anyone know why Hartlepools buses keep going to Stockton now and again 3 been there this week which were
39660 on Tuesday and today it’s 36088 and 36461

I'm guessing Stockton does MOTs.

According to one of the controllers at Slatyford we will be getting another 27*** tonight anyone know which one it is? 

Also it’s believed Stagecoach don’t have any agreement with Newcastle City Council regarding the non compliant buses in the clean air zone and will most likely get a big fine once all buses have been replaced. Surprised they haven’t had them all changed sooner.
