Stagecoach North East: Order Predictions
Stagecoach North East: Order Predictions
Double decker was the standard for economics until the E300's came along. The Volvo Olympions were delivered with "economic" local fleet branding. Maybe a split allocation of current e300s and e400mmc (ideal for peak journeys) or maybe 6 mmc's for x34 with older tridents to economic services?
Kind regards

New cascade suggestion:
22570/74/79/80/81 to devon in trade for 15781-5 to allow the 100 to have the much needed double decker conversion.
This will also require a re-route avoiding the low bridge so I have made a new one. On the new route buses will operate via Scotswood view, Holinside way, onto the A1, exit the A1 from the A184 slip road then normal route in both directions.
The spares will be the leather seater E400s (19194/6/7)
15781-5 will recieve minimal branding for the 100 with the same 100 logo the yutong demo had but on the scanias above the doors, above driver cab and inside the rear poster boards.
Inside the side posters boards there will be the images on that are on the current E300s at the back windows
These will have wi-fi and usb chargers fitted
What are your thoughts

(24 Feb 2019, 11:16 am)S830OFT 22579 can't transfer as it's withdrawn due to the crash with the Taxi. Also the 100 goes under a low bridge.

A plan to get the omnilinks off the X24 and the 08 reg MANviro 300s off the 100
15920-23 to transfer from lillyhall depot (Cumbria) to Sunderland Depot these viechles will be replaced in Cumbria by new viechles
15920-22 will remain in stagecoach gold livery with branding for the X24 Sunderland city centre, Chester road, Gateshead, Newcastle City centre (in stagecoach gold double decker style) on the side
On the engine flap (where the Map at the rear usually is it will say:
Newcastle to Sunderland in just 39 minutes & Sunderland to Newcastle in 43 minutes
This will displace 24001-3 to the 100
This allows the 100 MANviro 300s to go to elsewhere
24001-3 will receive stagecoach fleet colours with minimal 100 branding
What are your thoughts of my plan?

First the 100 needs 4 Buses, 2nd 24001-3 are so unreliable so there’s no gain. 3rd why would Cumbria just give E400s Over to SNE and why Stagecoach Gold?

As I said the buses from Cumbria will be replaced by brand new buses
And they are to be stagecoach gold so they can still be of a high spec for the X24 like the omnilinks.

26276 - 26293 - Stockton for services 36/37/38.
22016/22018 - 22020/22061 - 22064 will be directly withdrawn. 22026 will also be replaced, with the spare Enviro 400 taking it's place in reserve...
The arrival of these new buses will release 24101, 24103, 24105 - 24112 to Slatyford.
22012/22013/22050/22051/22065 - 22070 will be withdrawn as a result.
24x ADL Enviro 400MMCs - Sunderland for the E1/E2/E6/X24/X34 services.
19641/19642 will transfer to Stockton to provide additional capacity buses, this will allow 22514/22515 to transfer to Slatyford allowing 22080/22081 to be withdrawn.
19643/19644 will transfer to Walkergate, this will allow the withdrawl of 22022/22024.
24001 - 24003 will be withdrawn from service at Sunderland.
27726 - 27740 will transfer to Slatyford, this will allow the withdrawl of 22082/22341 - 22348/22408 - 22413.
34605/34611 will also be withdrawn, as a result of having 2 additional spares for these services.

When I last checked the Scania Bus & Coach website they still make the E300 NG & E400 NG (unless it hasn't been updated in a while). I think it would be great if Sunderland got more Gas Buses. Though I assume they will need extra funding for this.
Another order prediction would be ADL E200 MMCs (smaller ones) for Sunderland 4/5/10/11/23 and Slatyford 6/7/8 allowing several MAN E200s to be withdrawn or transferred elsewhere within Stagecoach. As well as several "Smart Hybrid" ADL E400s for Walkergate, allowing several of the oldest ADL E400s to be placed in reserve/withdrawn - 4 of which would replace the current open-top tridents.
I think South Shields depot would be an ideal depot for a fleet of electric buses - for 3/4/7/8.
Also I assume several vehicles at Walkergate & Slatyford will need exhaust modifications to upgrade them to Euro 6 for the clean air / low emissions zone in Newcastle that may be coming into effect soon.
