Understand from talking with an member of Stockton’s engineering this morning (he was the one that did the swap yesterday morning) it’s a three vehicle swap.
Does anybody know when Slatyford and Sunderland are getting the new electric buses?

Sunderland next month, Slatyford in December, I think.
When are Stockton new electric buses coming them?
Does anyone know what the plan is with Sunderland? Are the electrics displacing gas buses or diesel vehicles?

Would imagine second half of next year for those ones

Dug out the memo from April.
Sunderland is late Sept/early Oct.
Stockton and Slaty is "envisaged [...] early next year" (the order was yet to be placed at the time).

Rather see the 200mmcs getting good use out of them, not being put on the ghost routes 1/2/6/RP1.

Rare to see one on the RP1 board now - bar the one trip on a Saturday evening which works off a 6 board, it's usually an E300 now. They are the preferred allocation for the 6/6A for the security barriers at the Airport.

Rp1 no one use it may as well withdraw it
Are stagecoach Stockton swapping over anymore buses to Newcastle depot or that it?
I see that stagecoach Stockton depot has 26067 ,39715 39726 39730 now are stagecoach Stockton shorter buses is that right?
Saw Megabus Levante 59228 being towed away from Walkergate yesterday evening. One of the white ones with blue panels along either side. Not sure whether it ever saw use on Megabus services here.

26067 hasn’t - that was a machine update which can sometimes randomly cause buses to track on other depot’s route.
39715 has been at Stockton since April - but has been joined in recent days by 39726 from Hartlepool and 39730 from Sunderland. Interestingly, while 39730 is currently running round with Sunderland’s destinations still programmed in, it now has Cleveland Transit legals. What this means is unknown for the moment.

Maybe more like R1P (RIP)
The second Teesside/Newcastle swap has seen 26291 move to Slatyford (via Walkergate) this morning with 37316 moving south to Stockton.
How many of Stockton 200mmc going to swap then?

As per previous posts it's 3 vehicles planned
Would be nice to see some of the new 200mmc's in Shields or Sunderland
Have just seen Stagecoach Bluebird 36331 heading along New Bridge Street in the direction of Walkergate depot. Could be just resting up for the night before continuing a journey south tomorrow, or could be transferred here. Will keep an eye out for it.

Looks like 27253 and 27254 are included in this swap as they are both now working from Walkergate.

Yeah cos it’s walkergates E200’s heading to Stockton as Slatyford need their E200’s for the 32/32A. 26291/293 came to Slatyford, Slatyford sent 27253/254 to Walkergate, Walkergate sent 37314/316 to Stockton and I’m guessing 37312/315 will be leaving Walkergate for Stockton, 26290/292 will go to Slatyford and 27251/252 will go to Walkergate.

That’s not CAZ compliant so won’t be for Newcastle services so could potentially be heading to Stockton.
Want happened to 26067 that went to stagecoach Stockton depot?

So what will Slatyford be gaining for their PVR increase?
Since Walkergate have already gained 6 additional E400MMCs I was under the impression 3 were for the increased PVR on the 1 and the other 3 would replace the E200s allowing Slatyford to gain 3 E200MMCs for the increase on the 30/31/36
Does anyone know what the white enviro is in Stockton's yard?
