Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2014
(22 Jun 2014, 4:44 pm)Michael What is the capacity on them?
Only being on them once and i liked them.
Can they not use decker's on the 100?
(22 Jun 2014, 4:50 pm)Dan I think they seat 48, but the gas buses only seat 43 and the E300s on the Economic services seat 45.
May only be a couple of seats, but makes a difference during peak times!

(22 Jun 2014, 2:56 am)MRmoxy apparently all of slatyfords T-reg ALX 300S are to be withdrawn in the next coming weeks/months and replaced with newer south shields and sunderland ALX 300S. 22072 and I think 22021 (not 100% on that one) have already been re- allocated to slatyford, rumoured to replace 22479 and 22492 which are already delicensed. also rumoured is that slatyford will be receiving a unspecified euro 6 vehicle

(22 Jun 2014, 5:03 pm)Kuyoyo I understand deckers can be used on the 100 but it would rule out one of the diversion routes due to a low bridge.
And the present specification E300s (like those used on Carlisle' 685 at present and those due to replace those, plus the 25 for Stockton) seat just 41.

Walked past Sunderland depot.
5/6 gas buses parked up out the back.
Work on the gas re-fueling
One of the newer MAN's is parked up there also with that red thing over the wheel.
Training bus is also there.
1 Enviro and MAN in the paintshop.
Pretty busy today, couldnt get pictures to many people around.
(23 Jun 2014, 12:37 pm)Andreos Constantopolous There is also a decker on 52's. Saw it around lunchtime.

(22 Jun 2014, 5:01 pm)Tom What about Solo SR's for the 15, 32 and 35?
Also, what about Versas on the 100?
(23 Jun 2014, 5:49 pm)mrnut85 Only buses that would be better than the current E300 on the 100 would be the tri axle Scania OmniLink

(23 Jun 2014, 1:31 pm)AIG20 22073 is the withdrawn MAN ALX300 with the red cover over the steering wheel. Also when I went past there were two Enviro 200s (which I think both had a chassis wash), and the rear was overflowing with Gas Buses, two of which were sat idling.

(24 Jun 2014, 7:25 am)Richard Smiles Since it was reported at the Back of the Depot a few days ago, has anyone at Sunderland seen 22675 (V675 DDC) lately.I will walk round the back of the depot later if I have ten minutes before going home, Richard.
It has been rumoured, that the current Driver Training Fleet may well be replaced at some point this year ?, so wondered whether 22675 could be one of the vehicles to be converted to the same.

(24 Jun 2014, 8:45 am)AIG20 39731, 28030 and 20551 are at the rear of the depot, including 36094 which is recieving attention and 22050 which has new panels fitted and filler applied to some areas - meaning this is the next vehicle to enter the paint shop. In addition, several gas buses are in the workshops around the front.
It is not long before 20550, 20553 and 20121's MOT expires according to the vehicle enquiry website, and 21037's tax runs out this August as well as 20553 and 20554's in July which is further evidence that the trainers could be replaced soon.
However, there is no sign of 22675, and 22672 and 22673 are still in service.
