(27 Feb 2019, 6:40 pm)S830OFT The X24 could always interwork with the X34 at Newcastle...

This would be a good idea if it could give the x34 some more layover time as it quite regularly comes into Newcastle a bit late. 

Could also provide the possibility of a Sunday service on the two, each hourly? The timings would allow them to interwork

Information from Steven Knight Media - Fleet News Ramblings:

Stagecoach North East
Withdrawn MAN/ALX300 22042 is the latest vehicle to be collected from Stockton depot by Alpha Recovery, Weetslade for scrap. It was collected on Thursday 21st February 2019.
Slatyford based, MAN/Enviro 300 24115 returned to Slatyford on 28 February 2019 having received a Cummins Euro 6 engine conversion at ADL, Anston.
At least three of the Stockton based Enviro 300s have lost their ‘Zone’ branding on repaint. 27166 and 27168 lost their branding in January 2019, followed by 27181 in February 2019.
There have been reports in the local press that South Shields depot is proposing to reduce part of its operations by transferring 55 drivers and 22 buses to other depots. It is believed that service X34 will possibly be transferred to Walkergate depot, with the ‘E’ Group of services being moved to Sunderland. If this proposed change goes ahead, it is likely to take place in June or July 2019.

X34 to Newcastle would seem better, hopefully would mean an extension to Shields centre.....

Afew questions I have.
1. What time does thecbus for the 10.40 M33 on Saturdays get into Newcastle so I can get a good pic of it arriving when I get it in a few weeks?

2. What depot in what part of the UK operates the 10.40 M33 on a Saturday?

3. Are megabus purchasing any 19 reg elites?

Thanks in advance.

I believe it is operated by Rugby Depot, Stagecoach Orders for 2019 are yet to be confirmed they are usually confirmed by the end of April, I would imagine there will be some more Elite i's on order replacing older Elite i's on Megabus Duties.

Indeed. See the registration here: https://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showt...p?tid=1032&pid=226504#pid226504

Will be interesting to see how it pans out that's for sure. Whitley Bay and North Shields is hardly the likes of Scarborough, though does have the caravan park which may help a bit.

I seem to recall there used to be an open-top service in South Shields at one time, but I haven't heard anything about it recently - is that one still going, or did I imagine it?
