(06 Jan 2015, 7:49 pm)AIG20 Good News:
VOLVO OLYMPIAN 16839 (R839 OVN) has had its SORN notice removed and has been taxed until 1st December 2015.

Bad News:
Dennis Dart/ALX200 33101 (R101 KRG) now has a SORN noticed attached - which shows that it has now been withdrawn from service.

Just wonder what will 16839 be running in Sunderland, I don't think it will be just for the park and ride in football days?

And any news about 16833 from South Shields? Have it returned to Sunderland yet,it seems that it's not on X34 for some time.

With the festive period over, I can't imagine that 16833 will need to be used at South Shields on the X34 service anymore.

Odd that Stagecoach are going to the expense of repairing the chassis corrosion on 16839 whilst giving it a full interior and exterior repaint. Could be trying to up the book value ahead of disposal (if planned for some time this year), I guess...

Does anyone know what the loadings are like on the evening 38s in Stockton I often see it running empty in Norton Do they get any council money or is it just a gamble

They are commerically operated - mentions at the launch of the new buses that the reintroduce was due to requests after the Ragpath Lane/Junction Road junction improvements saw the 37 serving the estate.

January is a notoriously quiet month during the day, even worse on a night

(09 Jan 2015, 6:34 pm)AIG20 I hope 33101 (R101 KRG) is preserved; and the withdrawal of 34401 (NK53 KFW) increases the likelihood of the "53/04 Plate" batch of Pointer Darts being replaced in this/next years order, as this is the eldest DDA-compliant Dart in the North East Fleet.

34401 isn't withdrawn - it's moved into the Reserve fleet in place of 34615. It'll still be in active use at Hartlepool as 33101 and 34615 have been for the last few months.

Think I mentioned this nearly two weeks ago now when I was at the MetroCentre.

Hope they fix it soon.

I thought that may be the case, as GNE tweeted that the TEN services were being diverted via Centrelink.
