Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
How does transfers between divisions within the Stagecoach group happen?
Did Stagecoach North East request these kinetic's or were they told of management that they were getting them to replace certain buses?
It's really odd that the 100 doesn't get new investment as opposed to cast offs really
It's not that odd. There are no comparable single deckers on the market in terms of capacity and they can't upgrade to double deckers due to one of the routes having a low bridge. Obviously, the E300s can't keep going forever (maybe 2 years left in them). It will be interesting to see what the powers that be decide to do.

Most drivers go to Newcastle via Dunston, out onto the A1 and off at the next sliproad onto the bypass thing that follows through onto the Redheugh Bridge yet come back to the Metrocentre via Teams & Handy Drive.

Variation Accepted by SN: Operating between Docks or City and Farringdon given service number 5 effective from 16-Oct-2016. To amend Timetable.
(05 Sep 2016, 9:22 pm)stagecoachbusdepot I think it's about the drivers having the option to take the other route, to avoid traffic etc.
What has always been a little hard to believe is that a 46 seat 12.6m E300 would be unacceptable despite the 05-plates only having two more seats. And if capacity is really the reason for lack of investment, why is/was a 43 seat Kinetic being considered?
