12083 has surprisingly returned to service in Newcastle tonight. The tracking on bustimes is accurate, just been on it on the 37.

When was this?

It seems to have done a run from Stockton up the A19 to the Hartlepool area and back yesterday afternoon at about 2 o'clock, and today it's headed off for service as of 6 o'clock with no apparent issues?

Very surprised by that, 12083 was one of the very unreliable ones.

believe it or not glen, nothing has changed in the ten day since you last asked the question, be patient it will happen someday, but remember that the majority of the slatyford ones are older and still havent been done yet, the MMC E400s are slowly getting through and i imagine the single decks will be next

Does anyone know if any more vehicles are due to leave Walkergate?
It seems they have only lost 19678, 36468 and 37317 even though the overall PVR has dropped by 5 with the lost of the 317.

I remember years ago when they had spare buses sitting around in case of buses needing replaced etc, so I’d like to imagine they’re keeping some but 9 times out of 10 now all of their buses are out on the road so I can’t see them giving anymore up.

In a notice to drivers, Sc have said Sunderland's electrics are due late Sept/early Oct. Orders for Stockton and Slatyford yet to be placed.

Not bad, wonder if they'll start to install the chargers before they arrive?

(18 Apr 2024, 4:01 pm)Michael Not bad, wonder if they'll start to install the chargers before they arrive?

They’ll have to otherwise they’ll have no where to charge them. Slatyford needs modernising as I’m not sure where they could put the electric chargers in the depot being quite old.

Wonder if they would build a new depot, if that option ever came up?

I doubt it, they’ll make it work with the current depot. If they ever think about a new depot they’ll build it big enough to combine the 2 depots and have everything run out of one.


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Ambassador - 19 Apr 2024

Investing in depot infrastructure ahead of franchising would be an interesting decision to make

First Solent as an example demolished the existing Depot Buildings in order to create space to house charging facilities for their new electric buses.

I don't see that happening at Slatyford as I'd imagine they'd be installed along the depot walls with buses parked in sideways, other option would be to extend the rear yard area as there is a small field out the back accessible via Slatyford Lane which would provide sufficient space.


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - omnicity4659 - 19 Apr 2024

I can see Slatyford's charging situation to be similar to that at Riverside, there is enough space for inline charging points.
