(05 Nov 2013, 7:39 am)Dan Gregg Collins has a nice photo of 29022... Although this one isn't destined for Sunderland, it does mean that they're almost done! Wink

29022 is a Alexander Dennis E350H, the Gas Scanias will be 28001-17.

Update on the Hartlepool Pointer - it appears 34608 is also at Hartlepool as it has been spotted today (and at some point prior to Sunday).

Kuyoko suggested a week or two ago that South Shields had one full size decker that was surplus to requirements. Maybe one of the Sunderland pointer 2 darts will replace it at South Shields? I was expecting 21156 to leave Shields, not 22021.

35190 is now back at Sunderland depot and is parked up over the pits. 39702 is also there all sanded down awaiting re-paint. 33484 is parked up in the back corner on its own- possibly withdrawn??

It looks like, I am going to have to amend my Fleet Lists again then. I'll hang on now until I get the "official" Fleet Cards, showing the "official" movements. Thanks for the info though Dan.

Looks like all of the ex-Sunderland Pointer Darts are now at their new homes...

34608 @ Hartlepool
34609-34614 inclusive @ Walkergate (seems excessive for a PVR of 4 but hey ho)
34615 @ Slatyford
35159-63 inclusive @ Slatyford
35172/73 both @ Slatyford
35187-89 inclusive @ Slatyford
Presumably the three ALX200 bodied Darts at Sunderland will be/have been withdrawn, giving 21 in and 21 out, with 35155-58 retained at Sunderland.

35190 looks a likely candidate to be swapped for 22021 so is discounted from the total above.

Hold your horses, things are about to get complicated - Walkergate's 34613 was spotted in Hartlepool today on the 3.

That would make sense - replaces 35190 which goes to Shields to release 22021. Leaves 5 to cover a PVR of 4 at Walkergate.

Forgot to add on my earlier post that 33123 is the only one of Slatyford's ALX200s to remain in service (covering the 6/7/8 today). The other eight are parked up at the rear of Slatyford depot - 33483 is the only one to retain its ticket machine (and possibly 33489 - couldn't tell from the angle it was parked at) - so the others won't be back in service with SNE.

2 more Tridents have been reported to have arrived at Stockton, they are 17028 (S828BWC) and 17029 (S829BWC). I would guess this means 2 more Olympians will be withdrawn upon them entering service.

(10 Nov 2013, 6:54 pm)Richard Smiles Some of the recent internal Fleet Movements at Stagecoach North East have brought into my mind a scene from towards the end of the Great St. Trinians Train Robbery Film (Hockey Sticks & All), where the signalman is on the phone to his boss telling him about all of the Trains going up & down on the wrong lines.

So if I had got this right 34608 has moved Sunderland to Hartlepool, 34613 moved from Sunderland to Walkergate & 35190 moved from Sunderland to Hartlepool & has now moved back to Sunderland, in the meantime 34613 which was at Walkergate, has now moved from Walkergate to Hartlepool to replace 35190 which as previously mentioned is now back at Sunderland.

In the meantime 22021 which was at South Shields has now moved to Sunderland & is expected to be replaced by 35190 which is now at Sunderland having just come back from Hartlepool.

All I can say to that is meanwhile back at The Ranch.............

35190 was at South Shields the other day.

Couple roadworks in Sunderland

Temporary suspension of Marks & Spencers bus stop on St.Mary’s Way Service Update
We have been advised the westbound bus stop outside Marks and Spencers on St.Mary’s Way in Sunderland City Centre will have to be temporarily withdrawn from Tuesday 19 November 2013 for around 5 days.

Last Updated : 13 November 2013 10:44

This suspension is required to allow the installation of a new bus shelter.

Due to the constrained works area, there will be no replacement bus stop for the period of the construction. As a result, customers for Services 8, 20, E1, E2 and E6 are advised to use the next available bus stop, located on High Street West near the Londonderry.

Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience these works may cause, and we remain grateful for customers’ patience and understanding.

and:

Potential disruption on Dundas Street during 21 and 22 November 2013 Service Update
We have been advised of potential disruption along Dundas Street, in Sunderland during the evening of 21 November, and also during the daytime of 22 November 2013.

Last Updated : 13 November 2013 10:32

We have learnt that access to Dundas Street may be restricted during certain undefined periods, and this may require southbound buses on Services 18, 23, E1 and E6 to instead operate via the foot of Church Street North and Dame Dorothy Street, observing all bus stops along the route of the diversion.

Whilst we will be working closely with our local authority colleagues to ensure that the impact on bus services is as limited as possible, Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience which may be caused, due to circumstances beyond our control.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
