RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Kuyoyo - 18 Oct 2014
(18 Oct 2014, 6:07 pm)Dan I'm guessing the above have all arrived then? Will add them to fleet lists this evening...
The last to arrive is 27169, which is the final 'TIme Zone' branded example. 27170/1 are due in the coming week carrying the second version of 'The Zone' branding, which of the three remains to be seen (more details should be known on Tuesday morning).
24106 returned from Sunderland paint shop yesterday and like sisters 24111/2, re-entered service today, ending the day on 52/58s (more odd workings - see rare working thread). It is expected that 24107 will be the next to head to the paint shop, backed by its non-appearance today. That leaves just 24110 of the 'Megarider' branded examples on the road at Stockton.
All 9 unbranded ADL E300s were in service today - 27158 followed the example of 27157/65 by debuting on the 52 today (as well as working a 58). 27157 however is likely to be VOR for the next 2 or so days after one of its passenger doors was damaged along Norton Road this afternoon.

Ta - have you got any photographs of the "Time Zone" branding yet? 'Tis news day tomorrow!

No, I don't - they are shut away in the depot. I did see 27166 on Tuesday night over the pits (think I said that then) but wasn't in a position to photograph it (plus camera was wet so couldn't actually take a photo anyway). I'm at the depot in the morning (to help get L544 ready for its final trip of the year - trip round a few North Yorkshire Independent depots) but I fear any photos of the branded E300s will probably not be for publication yet.
RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Kuyoyo - 19 Oct 2014
27170 (SN64 OJV) actually arrived at Stockton depot on Friday evening. It wears the blue 'Zone Out' version of 'The Zone' branding.
RE photos of them - as expected, you'll be waiting until the day they enter service (said to be 7th November) before there's any photos of the branding. However, I can reveal that each version has different nearside/offside route detailing ('Time Zone' for example has Middlesbrough-Stockton-Norton every 7 1/2 minutes' on nearside and the incorrect 'North Tees Hospital-Billingham-Hartlepool' on the offside). At present, only 27166 has received fleet numbers, the rest remain in as-delivered condition.

Anyone know why the drivers not only have a card to place on top of the ticket machines but then have a small black fob to? This is on the dashboard.
Also why do drivers have there licence round the neck now?

From what I heard a taxi had dropped its passengers off near st James stadium then decided to do a u-turn in the middle of the street, driver was too late to break and ended up hitting the rear end of the taxi smashing the taxis rear windscreen and denting the rear bumper

There are more images on his Flickr page.
22195 looks as if it has been crash damaged.
Won't be crash damaged. More likely dragged around the yard with a JCB which usually damages the vehicle.

^ Your issues with quoting seem to be intermittent, which leads me to the assumption that it's definitely based upon certain web browser usage... Try Google Chrome if that's not the one you're already using.
May be worthwhile pressing 'Preview' before you post in future, as that shows if your post is going to be blank...

(21 Oct 2014, 4:22 pm)AIG20 All of the branded vehicles are to be launched on Friday 7th November, as mentioned in a previous post.
Why the 7th when the new services don't start til the 30th?!

No, it wasn't damaged when in Stockton depot after withdrawal. Indeed, it had somehow got a new lower rear panel in place of the all-over ad one it carried previously.

(21 Oct 2014, 8:56 am)AIG20 Does anyone know which bus broke down? I assume a Sunderland bus will once again be used as the replacement.
Probably 27739.

(22 Oct 2014, 6:41 pm)AIG20 That means that the "engine knocking" issue must have been a major mechanical problem, unless the engineers are waiting for a new part to be delivered.It's being worked on by Cummings
RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Dan - 23 Oct 2014
For anyone wanting photos...
Repainted 27734 is on Ecos today - heading to South Shields now on Wearmouth Bridge.
Was either E1 or E6.
