(13 Feb 2014, 10:26 pm)Kuyoyo At the moment, the number is different when asked about - I've had 15 and 20 quoted at me
Wouldn't have said 15 was on the Bingo list.
I think I know which two the 20 would concern (from what I've heard with 25 - just means one isn't done)... Guess we will have to keep our ears open for further news though...

I can only pass on what I've heard when being asked - the problems of being well know by the majority of the Stockton driving staff.

Is it worrying that I am looking forward to the Gas Bus Opening Day more than Valentines Day.

More roadworks in Sunderland:
Closure of Suffolk Street, Hendon affecting Services 10, 11 Service Update
On Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 February 2014, Sunderland City Council will need to temporarily close Suffolk Street to allow for road resurfacing works.
Last Updated : 13 February 2014 10:22
The road closures are scheduled to be in place between 0800 - 1800 during both days, with the road being open outside these times.
During closure periods, Services 10 and 11 will be unable to observe their normal stops along Suffolk Street or Rosalie Terrace, and will be diverted as follows:
* Service 10 will be diverted from Villette Road via Toward Road and Mowbray Road, resuming normal routes at the north end of Suffolk Street.
* Service 11 will be diverted from Corporation Road via Villette Road, Toward Road and Mowbray Road, resuming normal routes at the north end of Suffolk Street.
Services 10 and 11 will observe all bus stops along the line of the diversionary route.
Clearly, whilst we will be endeavouring to operate Services 10 and 11 in accordance with their published timetables, as well as continuing to liaise with our colleagues at Sunderland City Council to mitigate any problems, there is the potential that bus services in the area may be subject to localised delays.
Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience these highways works by Sunderland City Council may cause, and we remain grateful for customers’ patience and understanding."

Closure of Leechmere Road affecting Services 18, 19 Service Update

The road closures are scheduled to be in place between 0800 - 1800 during both days, with the road being open outside these times.
During closure periods, Services 18 and 19 will be unable to observe their normal stops along Helvellyn Road and Leechmere Road, and will be diverted as follows:
* Service 18 will be diverted from Grangetown Ocean Road via Queen Alexandra Road, Woodstock Avenue, Westheath Avenue, Hereford Road, Hill View Road, Sea View Road.
* Service 19 will be diverted from Sea View Road via Hill View Road, Hereford Road, Westheath Avenue, Woodstock Avenue, Leechmere Road (east), Ocean Road.

Hopefully after this 40 have arrived they will get more (17 here), 23 more later this year... if of course they do well.
An gas E400 sounds interesting.
Did many people attend?
Anyone know what the 3 prices are on side of the buses, theirs a few photo's with them on. Can't make them out
