No problem Glen. 22514 is out on the 10 today, 22515 hadn't made it out as of 9 this morning.

22513 briefly went back to Slatyford for maintenance, but has returned to Walkergate and is out on the 18 today. 22512 (also now Walkergate-based) is not out as far as I'm aware. 

22341, 22342, 22065 and 22066 have all completed their move to Slatyford now.

Is a Stagecoach training bus sometimes in service? This afternoon one passed me as it did on the afternoon of Friday 13th. I am not sure if the same one always passes me or different ones which look the same.

If you mean the red MANs, no they're only used for training duties as they have been converted internally. 22076 (Walkergate) is the only one in Newcastle complete at present, 22072 is still looking sorry for itself on the back fences at Slatyford prepped for repaint but not internally modified.

I could've been 21037, I am not sure. The livery is reverse corporate livery, it has a red front and is mostly blue. I like the livery actually, but it looks GNE inspired, rather than Stagecoach.

When it passed earlier it stopped at the bus stop and looked to change drivers. I have seen it a few times so thought it might be used in service as emergency cover. I would like to see the livery used on the in service buses as the corporate livery is too white and fairly bland, despite the bold colours used and I actually liked the old white and stripe livery. Stagecoach is due for a livery change I think.

I like old white stripe too mate

Hopefully nothing too serious!

20121's engine is defective, so that one looks likely to become a candidate for scrap.  Undecided

Think 20121 is the one inside being used for spares? Well 22075 is a long way off being ready still!

Only just recently came off. Don't think it's been cannibalised completely yet, but engine is definitely goosed!
