I believe they may not be out on night-time running boards at first - awaiting radio fitting.

26280 out tonight on 38s and 12s

Are the MAN Kinetics being withdrawn as a result of the E200 MMCs entering service at Stockton?

It wouldn't make sense withdrawing more reliable MAN ALX300s in better condition (even though they are older).

Yup. Kinetics and the poorest conditioned MAN ALX300 in the region face the chop.

ADL E300 27737 has been repainted into corporate livery (is no longer branded for the E's).

I think just 27726,27,31,35 & 40 are left to be repainted.

Since people have been asking....
Yesterday
26276 wasn't allocated to service
26277 was out on 36/37, starting in Hartlepool at 0818 and finishing at North Tees Hospital at 1829
26278 was out on 36/37 30 minutes behind 26277, starting with the early morning short 13s from Stockton at 0530, dropping onto the 36 to Hartlepool Interchange in Middlesbrough at 0720 and finishing in Middlesbrough at 1816
26279 was out on a 36/38 board, incidentally on the only Saturday board to work all 4 of the former 'Main Line' routes and was on the working in front if 26277 - it starts at Park End on the first 39 at 0515 which then runs onto the first 37 from Middlesbrough at 0532. It finished at Norton Green on a 38 at 1814.
As noted, 26280 was on a late 36/38/12 board, starting from North Tees Hospital at 0530 on a 37 and supposedly finishing at Norton Green on the last 38 at 2338

(06 Oct 2019, 11:22 pm)Rob57 RBZ 5459. Will Shields depot get any second hand buses to replace the ones they lost to Sunderland depot. Robin

No, simply because 39715 - 18 transferred with the X20/30, therefore meaning no replacement was required.

It would be nice to see Shields upgrade the 10/11 from the MAN200 allocation, especially with the Cobalt extension, although I feel this won't be for a few years yet...

22020 on the X63, at every off-peak 49 departure from Blackett St. Must have replaced a Kinetic?
