I think Stagecoach have seen logic down on Teeside as they wouldn't want New Buses to Break after the Engine and Exhaust is Infiltrated with Smog after such a Massive Investment. That wouldn't be best for Business in Stagecoach's eyes now would it, whereas the ALX300's thrive in Performance after being Infiltrated with Smog. It's a bit like that episode of Top Gear really when they had a discussion if cars could run on Cow Poo.

Only Joking, I'm sure Smoggie Land will get some form of Investment in the Future, Heard Stagecoach were Interested in Buying some New Enviro 300 SMOG's which is similar to the Gas Buses that'll be running in Sunderland soon, Very Economic I heard, Unfortunately it couldn't make it to The Bus and Coach Show in Birmingham a weeks back as it would of caused havoc with Birmingham's Carbon Footprint. So Alexander Dennis opted not to send it which is a great shame.

I'm sorry I'll end the jokes there before somebody gets upset

The idea that Sunderland of all places can lord it up over another town is amusing. It's Sunderland!

Speaking of Sunderland 39727 was plodding its way through Birtley at lunch time

(14 Nov 2013, 5:42 pm)Richard Smiles As far as I am aware, the New GAS buses will also carry the Green Version of the Stagecoach Livery & if the delivery schedule is still on target, the first batch of 17 are due to start arriving the week after next.

I doubt any will enter service before December though, as with them being a new type of bus to Stagecoach, there may be a degree of Driver Familiarisation involved. Cab layout etc.

I really hope they are out before Christmas =)

Changes to Services 8, 20, E1, E2 and E6 from Monday 25 November 2013 Service Update
To reduce the problems caused by ongoing roadworks along St.Mary’s Way, Services 8, 20, E1, E2 and E6 will be revised to no longer observe the bus stops at Marks and Spencer’s, the Londonderry or Empire Theatre. There will also be some consequential changes to other bus stops in the city centre.

Last Updated : 15 November 2013 15:57

Services 8 and 20 arriving in Sunderland City Centre will be revised to observe bus stops along Stockton Road and Burdon Road, terminating at a new bus stop on Fawcett Street (outside Wilkinson’s). Buses arriving in the City Centre will no longer stop on Green Terrace, Vine Place or at the north end of Fawcett Street.

Services 8 and 20 from Sunderland City Centre will start from Fawcett Street Wilkinson’s, and observe a bus stop on Holmeside. Daytime buses will also stop on Green Terrace. As a result, they will no longer stop at the north end of Fawcett Street, the back of Marks and Spencer’s, the Londonderry, or opposite Empire Theatre.

Services E1, E2 and E6 arriving in Sunderland City Centre will stop at John Street before reaching Park Lane Interchange, and will no longer stop at Marks and Spencer’s or the Londonderry.

Services E1, E2 and E6 from Sunderland City Centre will continue to use the same bus stops at Park Lane Interchange and Fawcett Street.

These necessary changes are aimed at improving the overall reliability of your bus services, and will remain in place until the St.Mary’s Way highways scheme is completed, and bus priority is established (estimated Summer/Autumn 2014).

There are no changes to timetables.
