Gas buses are now parked at the front of the Wheatsheaf - was none at the back of the depot earlier. Presumably ready for service tomorrow?

I'm not sure. My mam just walks the dog that way, and she keeps on telling me that some 'funny looking buses' are at the back of the depot, but today she said they weren't there and I saw at least six at the front as I passed the road next to the Wheatsheaf on the bus heading towards Tesco.

'funny looking buses'... funny my mam used that term to... haha
Wonder if the ones at Walkergate (think their there), will be transferred over later tonight.
So all 17 can enter service on the same day

I saw one of the gas buses (28014) heading up Chester Road towards Hastings Hill this morning just before 10am showing 'Sorry Not In Service', but couldn't get a photo as I was on another bus heading into the city centre. I think it was probably only out on test (unless anyone else knows different), but would expect them to be entering service within the next few days though.

They being out and about on the roads, probables just last min check's.
Like Dan said if their now based at the front of the depot, means they could be entering service tomorrow.

28001-28017 have entered service this morning. There are now several MANs parked at the back of the depot presumably withdrawn- 22172,22214,22215,22453,22495,22727,22728,22729,22732,22734,22735

ADLEnviro said a few days ago that 22735 was to be transferred to Stockton, so I don't think it will be as simple as direct withdrawals.
RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - ... - 27 Feb 2014
Should have put most of them will presumably be withdrawn! Can't imagine Stockton getting all 11 of these!
RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - idiot - 27 Feb 2014
I'm surprised Michael hasn't commented on the new buses been in service yet

Probably cascade the better ones around and get rid of the MANs in worst condition at all depots. It'll only be a temporary measure of course.

No, just the best ones out of an elderly bunch - allowing the worst ones in the fleet to be withdrawn.
Have just seen one on the 20, full seating capacity filled with standees.

Good start then!
The 20 has always being a popular route.
