(22 Oct 2018, 1:54 pm)RBZ 5459 Them two are not due to transfer to Newcastle.
Movements up to now, bold being the ones have arrived at their intended depot:
36081/82/83/84/85/86/87/88/89/90 [Sunderland to Hartlepool]
36468/69/70/71/72/73/74/75/76/77 [South Shields to Slatyford]
39671/72/73/74/75, 39710/11/12/13/14 [Hartlepool to Sunderland]
39705/06/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/22 [Slatyford to South Shields]
I have conflicting info on a couple of them from separate sources, so some confirmation on errors from recent sightings appreciated.

Seemed a perfectly valid response to me.

Thank you for being a good friend and telling cock Robin to keep his comments to him self. By the way do you have any news for me before i sign off for the night. Robin
(24 Oct 2018, 8:02 am)S830OFT Main Reason is so the MANVIROs can stay off the 1 as they are unreliable for that service.
36087 and 39671 swapped over yesterday, 36088 swapped for 39711 today.

(24 Oct 2018, 10:57 am)Acky81 So Sunderland gets unreliable buses that’s good. So we get omnilink rubbish from Scotland and now clapped out bangers from Hartlepool. Thank god we have gas busesThe gas buses i really do like now, used to hate but think they're a very good, comfy and quiet ride. A idea i would like is if the omnilinks (as much as i love them) to be replaced by the E400 gas buses. I really enjoyed riding the demonstrator last year, it was smooth, comfy and would fit in well with the gas buses. It was also pretty full too, maybe the idea of double deckers would attack more people (like me when i saw it)

(24 Oct 2018, 3:06 pm)Dan The 'official' fleet card does suggest that the preferred allocation is the opposite way round. I do recall something said a while back about the MANs having poor timekeeping on the 1 being a bit slower off the mark.

(24 Oct 2018, 4:52 pm)pbjd Interesting - I would've thought the MANs pulled away quicker, especially the former South Shields ones.
