(05 Jun 2013, 10:25 am)Liam X34 Decker has just left Gateshead, bound for Shields.

is it branded for the X34 or is it still in the standard livery

Branded for the X34.
19196 was the first to be branded, I believe, but she is also off-road at the moment (or rather, was on Monday/Tuesday).
I assume the others have been completed since!

16840 is the latest Olympian taken out of use as a result of the arrival of the Tridents. However, rather than coming off this week with the entry into service of 17027, it has actually been off the road since last week.

Not sure how long its been there but yesterday noted South Shields 27733 working for Slatyford on the 10/11/ in Newcastle. Have Slatyford got anything major off the road as they seem to have had a few loans in lately (22341/27736/27733)?

22341 is allocated rather than a loan.

Yep - was working for Walkergate yesterday. Not sure if Slatyford still have 27736 as well as 27733, or if this was a swap.

Why is stagecoach Sunderland services 3 13 and 16 always MAN buses? Surely it doesn't matter which route they go on as they are not branded like go north east

Although it was kinda obvious based on current PVR's, Sunderland's gas Scania Enviro 300's have been confirmed for the 16 and 20. Incoming Enviro 200's will be replacing the remaining Dart PVR - keeping Darts as spare allocations.

27733 has joined sister 27736 at Slatyford on loan.

It'll be down to seating capacity, I think.
I've seen plenty of Darts on the 3 mind, but I can't say it happens on the 13 or 16 as frequently.

Darts are usually out more than the MANs on Sundays these days, from what I've observed.

Just been reading Tonight's Sunderland Echo AND yet another Stagecoach ALX300 was involved in an accident at around 19:45pm last night whilst operating service 16. It collided with a Silver Vauxhall Corsa. Police are investigating what happened.
