There is a photo on Flickr of 17643 on the pits at Sunderland with service E1 programmed on the display.

I think 17239 is also now at Sunderland.

Looks like a South Shields to Sunderland open-top service is starting soon?

A separate service going straight along the Coast Road, like the original E1 many years ago, would be good to bring back.

Whilst I admire Stagecoach going to the effort of putting open toppers on the Es. It’s a bit half arsed still isn’t it? Unless they change it nobody is really wanting to get an open top tour of the Nook on the E6. At the very least they should stand alone the E1 and put them on there. Even then I don’t really want to be going along Highfield Road From Horsley Hill on the top deck, and I live around there!

Indeed, using them on a service is not at all ideal, as you say Highfield Road is bad, and as ds1197 says , Prince Edward is bad for overhanging trees and North Guards in Whitburn is serious, saw two people duck for cover.. I assume in the peak six weeks they will not work independently along the coast..

Early Stagecoach Tridents have a reputation of being unable to pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Is it that much different to GNE having their open toppers on the 56 etc last year?  Southwick and Washington are hardly places to cruise open top either!

I guess that costs money in drivers, fuel, dead mileage etc and they maybe arent confident the passenger demand would cover it.  Assuming these remain on the E's at Sunderland, the driver and mileage would have run anyway, just now with an open topper rather than an E300.
