RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - stagecoachbusdepot - 19 Mar 2014
(19 Mar 2014, 1:27 am)Arcticrossy92 I also remember getting on a old stripes bus Alx200 with shields branding on the side for the 18, Was this a loan at the time, I remember it was almost certainly a Alx200 because of the seating inside and how small it was.
Baring in mind this was years and years ago, if anyone has any knowledge It would be appreciated.
This would have been Busways' 1101/02 or 1129/30/32/33. All 6 (along with 1131 but this one received new corporate livery without branding while at South Shields, so won’t have been this one) were for easyACCESS conversion of South Shields Services 18/18A.
All seven vehicles transferred to Walkergate in May/June 2003, swapped for step entrance B10Ms. This is the only example I can think of for an SNE service to go from low floor operation, back to high floor operation.
They didn’t last long at Walkergate, moving on to Teesside & Sunderland in August 2003.
1101/02 of course became 33101/02 and 1129-33 33825-29.

(20 Mar 2014, 12:58 pm)Richard Smiles I would say that the above mentioned plated vehicles will be good for another 3/4 years yet Dan & Michael, as I think Stagecoach UK Bus Group in General's priority will be to eliminate the NON DDA Compliant Vehicles from the Fleet.
British Bus Publishing's 2014 Stagecoach Bus Handbook is due to be published in the New few weeks, worth buying though around £19.00.
Whats in the book?
Fleet info etc?
No news on the fleet lists for stagecoach this week?
RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Michael - 20 Mar 2014
(20 Mar 2014, 1:07 pm)Richard Smiles Basically it lists every Stagecoach Bus in the Country , Fleet No., Registration Number & Depot Allocation.
I did email you the last one (Fleet List) for 3rd March 2014, next Allocation Card is NOT due until the week commencing Monday 31 March 2014, did you not get the others from March 3rd ?.
Ah ill take a look when it comes out then, thanks for the info. =)
Ill double check, although i thought u sent them every 2 weeks haha
RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Michael - 20 Mar 2014
(20 Mar 2014, 1:14 pm)Richard Smiles No just every 4 weeks Michael.
Ye u did send them sorry!

RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - glen - 20 Mar 2014
Thank you for that richard
RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Michael - 20 Mar 2014
(20 Mar 2014, 2:38 pm)Richard Smiles No problem Glen. As I say I am NOT being awkward, just respecting Stagecoach's request. They will have probably done this so that they can publicise the New Buses nearer the time & most likely hold an Open Day to launch them, a bit like what they did with the GAS Buses at Sunderland.
Stagecoach On Teesside (or Cleveland Transit as was), will have been in business for forty years on 1 April 1974. They may well therefore have some events in the planning for later this year to celebrate this.
In addition Cleveland Transit will have been in Stagecoach ownership
for 20 Years on 14 November 2014, as they were bought by Stagecoach on 14 November 1994.
What year did Stagecoach take over Sunderland Busways?
RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Michael - 20 Mar 2014
(20 Mar 2014, 2:46 pm)Richard Smiles Interestingly the same year Michael, I do believe it was July? 1994
Cheer's, ill have a look around on the the internet.
Richard, any idea if the minor problem's have being sorted on the gas fueling station?, also when are they planning to extend it for the additional 23 arriving in May?
RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Michael - 20 Mar 2014
(20 Mar 2014, 2:55 pm)Richard Smiles Not heard anymore about the refuelling Station, but given several buses have started to transfer through to Stockton, I am guessing it has been.
Going back to the previous question, I can confirm Stagecoach purchased Busways in July 1994. I have checked in my 2010 edition of the Stagecoach Book.
Thanks for the information, =)

Closure of Borough Road affecting services 5, 5A, 18 and 19. Service Update
The work currently under way at Borough Road/Velliers Street will remain in place on Friday 21st March and could be ongoing on 22nd and 23rd.
Last Updated : 20 March 2014 16:9
The current closure of Borough Road/Velliers Road will remain in place all day on Friday 21 March and may continue into the weekend. This in the interests of safety due to a damaged water main. Further details will be annouced as we become aware of them.
We will endeavour to operate services in accordance with their published timetables, as well as continuing to liaise with our colleagues at Sunderland City Council to mitigate any problems, but services 5, 5A, 18 and 19 may be subject to slight delays.
Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience these temporary works may cause, and we remain grateful for customers’ patience and understanding whilst these long-term improvements are made to the local highways network.
