(06 Sep 2023, 6:22 pm)ifm001 E400 19383 looks to have transferred back to Slatyford from Sunderland.

(06 Sep 2023, 6:38 pm)Dans_bus_photos I don't think 19383 has ever operated from Slatyford if im honest. Being new to Walkergate then it went to Stockton then onto Sunderland, it doesn't appear to have been the most reliable in recent months though. It does make you wonder what's happening at Sunderland if they can afford to loose 19383, 27913/4 without replacements unless some of the withdrawn gas buses are now back in main fleet (28035/39)

(06 Sep 2023, 6:46 pm)pbjd They lost all of their runs on the 939, as well as the 99 which should account for 19383 going at least.

(06 Sep 2023, 6:58 pm)Dans_bus_photos Ah I forgot about them with the 99 going a few weeks ago. It does look like they've taken on a new scholars service around Seaham and Murton though operating from Sunderland but I haven't seen the SL06 in Durham operate so far this year, so that might equal out PVR wise.

(06 Sep 2023, 9:19 am)Storx It's for if they sell them and they run in service again, then people know that they're not Stagecoach buses so you don't have a repeat of what happened with GoNorthEast and having the Solo's running with Scarlett Band in full Metrocentre Mini livery. Arriva used to do it aswell, not sure if they do now though.

(06 Sep 2023, 8:06 pm)F114TML St Leonard's have withdrawn a lot of their school routes (school's shut anyway cos of the concrete thing). 5001 to Easington replaces it for us.

(07 Sep 2023, 5:34 am)F114TML Forgpt to mention too, a couple tyneside scholars routes have gone to Newcastle as well, which has probably freed up 383. Shame cos it's a good bus.... when it works.

(07 Sep 2023, 6:47 am)ReDemPTiion I might be wrong but I believe 19383 coming up from Sunderland has allowed Walkergate to take back 19679 from Slatyford. 

19672 has now returned to service following a refresh of paint having been due to head south that now confirms the 19600’s are definitely staying.

(10 Sep 2023, 11:09 am)Coastliner700 Slatyford seems to be either struggling with Double Deckers or allocating them wrongly. Almost their entire allocation on 62/63 seems to be daily worked by at least 3 Enviro 200MMC and today even supplemented by other E300s. Similarly Walkergate uses E300s and even E200s on the 22/38 regularly surely these new deckers coming should be used to rectify this rather than have vehicles sent elsewhere.

(10 Sep 2023, 8:37 pm)ReDemPTiion They normally have their buses on a Sunday but due to great north run the 106**’s were used as the shuttles hence why they had the E200MMC’s and some E300’s. The express services normally get the 106**’s on a Sunday as well and they were stuck with the E300’s today. During the week 62/63 do get a few E200mmc’s due to scholar services needing Euro 6 double deckers.

(11 Sep 2023, 12:50 am)glen When are Stockton E200mmc get repaint in new colours is it soon?

(11 Sep 2023, 3:50 pm)j986986 Does anyone know why on Bustimes it shows the 62/63 timetables completely wrong. It shows that there is only about 10 services a day, when in reality they are every 15 mins.

(11 Sep 2023, 3:51 pm)Unber43 That happened with the X67, when I looked when it was increased as it was increased to every 15 mins combined, it was saying X66/X67 were every like 86 mins each
