(02 Jul 2021, 4:14 pm)54APhotography 39718 has been a christmas tree for a while now, 39728 was hauled to Stockton for appraisal and didn't make it due to lack of spares, 39724 is a christmas tree at Slatyford. All three suffered major failures prior to being stripped for spares. the MAN should all have been replaced but we are victims of the massive cuts in capital expenditure. Not saying we would have got MMC but cascaded stuff maybe a couple of years younger and Darts or E20Ds.

Ah right, thank you for the information!

The MAN Enviro's are terrible.. need to go but that's not gonna happen.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Several of the MAN E200s are very scruffy and are in desperate need of a repaint, especially 39730.

At least that one has been repainted previously, 39726 seemed to have slipped through the net and has never been repainted. When it doesn't have a side advert board the new bus stickers that were applied when they were brand new can be seen.

When you look across the fleet repaint wise it is notable that the early Dart SLF4 have featured 36083/6/7/93 but not one MAN , some a year younger have been included in the program. It is widely assumed they wont be rebranded.

@skmpub

The Volvo B9s on loan at Stagecoach North East from Ensign Bus, 80044-47, have now been returned whilst MAN/Enviro 200s 39718/24/28, which had been delicensed here are now for disposal.

80046/47 are still on site at Slatyford this evening - presumably awaiting collection/driver availability.

With the weather nice again today, I would imagine the E services are going to be packed which makes me wonder why they've only allocated one E400 on the route... when more could be allocated?

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

There are lots of videos on YouTube of it being absolutely hammered on the X24 and X34, especially with it having kickdown enabled, so I'm not surprised if its engine failed - assuming that is what the problem is?

She had a new engine in May, then returned to service but never tracked. Was laid up again at the end of June. She's probably had her budget allowance spent for the year!
