Sunderland's 36082 has just been getting a lift back tonight courtesy of Alpha 

36972 and 36975 have both now lost their Bradley Lowery read adverts (unsure whether 36969/71 have lost theirs too) 

39666 is parked up at the back of Sunderland presumably there for repaint

36082 is now getting a reputation amongst drivers, last week when it was on the 4 it just wouldn't start and took 20 minutes to get it restarted. They ended up getting 28034 to replace it.

Hartlepool are swapping 10 Man E200 for 10 ADL E200 with Sunderland and Slatyford are swapping 10 Man E200 for 10 ADL E200 with South Shields. Probably from October.

Wouldn't Sunderland be losing newer buses?, seems a daft swap for all depots...

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

It's to basically spread the 39***s out more evenly. Reliability yes, but depot costs being the big one.

Id have thought South Shields E200s would have went to Hartlepool to keep the batch of 61 plates together, with Sunderland's going to Slatyford instead

Seems a bit of a bizarre way of working?

Most operators seem to standardise the fleets at different depots whenever possible - it allows the engineering teams to be more familiar with that vehicle type and store more of the components they require the most of (rather than stocking an abundance of different parts for different vehicles), in order to get vehicles unfit for service back on the road sooner.

It seems odd to spread out an issue rather than have all of them based centrally at one location with a budget to reflect their lesser reliability and higher maintenance costs.

Hartlepool may be over-budget now, but I'd have hoped their budget would be revised in the following financial year to reflect the higher spend.

Loan.

Very likely to return to Walkergate this weekend with the new academic year kicking off next week, meaning that service 1 returns to full PVR - plus service changes come into action on Sunday.

It may well be needed back for tomorrow to boost numbers on Metro Replacement.
