Has that got anything to do with the need to find some Tridents at short notice to replace the Olympians in North Bristol? Some older E400s into Gloucester would enable such as cascade.
That's the one. Into Gloucester, to oust stock to the aquired Gloucester Bus & Coach ops - which is needed by the new year with incoming PSVAR changes.

11284 on a 38 changeover this afternoon.

It was 19643, although has since been replaced and has ended up on the X34.
It seems to have turned out bad for Sunderland running the X34, and that increasingly rare alloactions are occurring all over as a result. Additionaly changing drivers in Harton seems to be delaying the service by a few minutes, which hasnt helped with the recent issues at Testos.
My suggestion for an improvement is to introduce Double Decker vehicles on both the X24 & X34 and allow the services to interwork in Newcastle, and for driver changeovers to take place at Sunderland.

Where do you think X34 changeovers took place when ran by Shields depot? And where do you suggest they do them instead as they need to be standalone due to branding?
RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - Dans_bus_photos - 12 Dec 2019
Although I agree it would be nice to see the X24/X34 interwork with deckers, out of peak times I dont think the X24 would justify them.
I think it is all down to the roadworks at Testo's thats causing the delays rather than being operated from Sunderland, the X34 was fine before the roadworks started. At least Sunderland have more spare vehicles than South Shields, to help combat the late running.

S830OFT send the double deckers back to South Shields where they should have stayed in the first place to do the X34.rob57

The changeovers were done at Horsley Hill Square when ran by Shields depot.

19643 is the only X34 branded bus so I don't think that's the case...
RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - pbjd - 12 Dec 2019
So, what about 24001-24003 or are they non-existent now?

The drivers change over at Fawcett Street in Sunderland, and the X24/X34 don't interwork, both single services.
RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - Ds1197 - 12 Dec 2019
The changes have took place at the Ridgeway since it reverted back to Every 30 minutes and for about a year while the X34 was at shields

19642 on 4 now. Doesn't feel right sitting on a local Sunderland service on a decker!
Mind £1.90 from Vine Place to SoL is scandalous. But I won't get started on single fares again..
