Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2016 - Michael - 01 Sep 2016
From Steven Knight's fleet ramblings: (update from 31st August)
Stagecoach North East…
Regular correspondent Richard Smiles reports that former Stagecoach Manchester Trident 17643 has been sent to Gardiners of Spennymoor for part open top conversion. Stagecoach East Scotland Optare Solo 47053 from the Reserve Fleet there was noticed parked up at Stockton depot suggesting it is being transferred elsewhere within Stagecoach UK Bus or has been sold.

HI I liked it when stagecoach transit had mini buses it would be nice see some Optare solo like 47053 to be in service at Stockton I wish that they would get some at stagecoach on Teesside depot.

Not many routes need solos in teesside it be the likes of hartlepool.
Solos would be good on the 32 in Newcastle

None of the routes in Teesside/Hartlepool need solos, the current buses are fine, no need to decrease. I can't imagine an 04 solo having much life in it either, not compared to ALX300/Darts in service.

There is no sign of 34611 out on the road yet is it still getting Worked on at the depot. I see the tape has been removed from the number plate of 34401 has it passed it's mot or not.

34611 needs quite a bit of work done to it from what happened to it.
Though I don't know if it's finished or not as I'm on holiday atm.

Failed on Green Lane with Liquid trailing for a good length up the road about two weeks ago
I'd take a hint that it was a coolant leak.

34611 has made a dramatic recovery then. It's out today on 17/18 circuit

If 34401 has passed it must've just passed as it always seems to sound awful

I know. I like those models especially 34605. Wouldn't be surprised if GCT or Jim Hughes purchased one.

Let's hope they use 34401 if it has passed its mot or not.

34605 is a beauty a personal favourite and it has 30+ videos on YouTube one of which shows a fitter starting 34605s engine and looking in the engine I do hope that one is preserved
