(22 Dec 2019, 4:43 pm)Kuyoyo They will likely be getting withdrawn - unless they get earmarked for the Cummins Euro6 conversion. They don't meet the upcoming LEZ scheme.
So, I assume there is a high chance of Walkergate and Slatyford getting lots more brand new buses (or newer cascades from elsewhere) next year to ensure that the entire fleet at both depots are LEZ compliant?
Will any of the MAN E200s be getting a Cummins Euro 6 conversion next year, or could several of these be getting replaced with new vehicles next year as well?
I wouldn't be surprised if there are some vehicle swaps between depots as well - MAN ALX300s being swapped with ADL E300s if they don't get replaced with brand new / newer vehicles.

Forgive my ignorance but do all services from slatyford and walkergate actually go into Newcastle city centre where the LEZ is. Can’t see them making sure every bus in depots meet the criteria if they don’t need to be. like South Shields only using certain buses on 10/11 as contract specific engine requirements.
Kind regards

The 6/7/18 avoid Newcastle Centre but that's about it...

Not many standard E400 left at Slatyford is any coming over from Walkergate ? The decline in numbers has resulted in alot of single decks back on some busy runs especially at peak times.

How come Stagecoach Newcastle now have NSAs on the new buses? Are the NSAs only going to be on 39/40 or will they be added to other services in the future?

Stockton's new batch of E200's have the system fitted also, comes as standard on new Stagecoach deliveries now. I believe they're programmed for every route in the depot. Anyone know whether this includes Hartlepool which often borrows buses from Stockton?

So all Walkergate operated services will have NSAs if they get allocated the new buses? I have only seen the new buses on the 39 and 40 so far.
I thought Stagecoach had decided against introducing NSAs.

Its fitment is likely to become law at some stage in the near future for larger operators - so not really up to them to decide against it! Makes sense commercially to fit it now as it's easily hidden within the cost of a brand new bus, than it is to pay for the kit upfront and retrofit.
Don't think the kits in Newcastle are working yet, mind, unless things have changed in the last week or so?

Were working when I was up there a week on Saturday.
As for Stockton’s E200s, believe they will have announcements for all Stockton’s routes given the amount of non-36/37/38 turns they do cover regardless of wrong allocation.
