RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - MetrolineGA1511 - 01 Oct 2023
I passed through Newcastle last Saturday (23rd) on my way to Edinburgh. I then spent Monday & Tuesday nights in South Shields for a wider day out on Tuesday (26th).
Anyway, my rides last Saturday were on
10652 (62)
11607 (1)
12082 (12)
19437 (22)
26078 (30)
27242 (685)
36476 (32)
50411 (M20)
While it did make sense for Stagecoach to run route 685 from depots at both ends of the route, it did occur to me how unlikely it was before privatisation that Newcastle / Tyne & Wear PTE depot Slatyford was to run buses out to Carlisle.

You know I think Wakergate would have done a better job at running the 685 than Slatyford since some vhicles there are unreliable at slatyford

£2 fare cap was due to end 31st October and replaced by a £2.50 fare cap for a year until November 2024 but that has now been changed. The £2 fare will now be in place until December 2024. Excellent news for drivers and passengers, definitely noticed more people using the buses with the cheaper fares.

Didn't catch the vehicle number, but a Stagecoach bus with what appeared to be minor front end damage parked up at Skinningrove Lane End around lunchtime today.

(01 Oct 2023, 7:54 am)BusEnthusiast.com When will the ex-Manchester e300s 27817-23 be tracking on bustimes as they are not currently tracking as any bus service and plus it is saying that the depot they are at is Wigan?
They've been tracking today
RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - BusEnthusiast.com - 06 Oct 2023
It appears that 27822 is currently at Sunderland and the rest are at Walkergate. Probably a temporary allocation there but it might be permanent

Same but it looks like the PVR will increase at Sunderland due to upcoming changes.

36979 now in hartlepool depot with cleveland transit legals

(07 Oct 2023, 2:11 pm)Scottish city buses 36979 now in hartlepool depot with cleveland transit legals
36979/80 are destined for Hartlepool.
Taking their place at Sunderland are ex-Stagecoach Bluebird 36050 (SV08 GVA) and 36197 (SP60 DYH) - the later is sister to several examples based at Carlisle depot and internally identical to 36081-94, while 36050 is to 'Scottish-specification' with the high-back Lazzerini seats complete with seatbelts.

It would be great with Stagecoach could actually sort themselves out. Hartlepool is now a complete shambles. That’s both services 7s cancelled in the last hour leaving a 90 minute gap not helped by the folk festival all weekend.
It starting to be pot luck if and when the service will turn up most of the time now and when it does it can often be packed. They give Hartlepool a full size bus in 22409 only then to have it withdrawn after less than two weeks. Hartlepool desperately needs investment to make the services more reliable because it’s starting to become more and more obvious that Stagecoach don’t really give a crap about the town even the majority of drivers are getting fed up at the looks of it. It’s certainly not helped by them taking on the 59 either which means 3 less buses to do the main town services with.
Stockton don’t seem to be doing much better either. The 36/37/38 have gone from mainly been the enviro 200 MMCs to anything been chucked on them now due to the MMCs doing Houchen’s ego projects 1/2 and 6 however I don’t have much hope on either depot getting investment anytime soon but it’s a backwards step from the 36 going from 69 plate MMCs to second hand 58 Man 300s.

Im surprised they were not just allocated to Hartlepool especially since they have all of 36081-94 now. Presumably they will ultimately see off 2 more Man E200s?

Yeh but that would've been logical.
