I don't remember Stagecoach noting it on their website, but Go North East certainly did. Had a text from a driver that he found out on the morning that there was a diversion - good one from Stagecoach! Tongue

The provisional date was w/c 25th November for the first arrivals, although I am under the impression this may have changed - we will have to wait and see if any arrive next week to confirm either way. Information on these gas buses isn't flowing through particularly well at this stage.

As I understand it, delivery will not commence until the Fuelling Station at Wheatsheaf has been completed.

That was one factor - begs the question, why were the structures required for the operation of these buses not prepared in advance? The provisional date has been known for quite some time now, and surely any requirements necessary should have met this deadline? One would think there's more to it than that.

A nice touch would have been to include the timetable, but nevertheless, a reminder that the diversion of Stagecoach services 8/20 and E1/E2/E6 starts today.

Were these changes registered on VOSA? I appreciate they're temporary and are subject to the council, but if the affected services are picking up passengers on the diverted route..?

It still shocks me that Sunderland have a few ALX300s without CCTV, yet still carry yellow stickers advertising the CCTV being in operation, he says whilst on board 22730 void of any cameras.

There was a Dart at the back of the Wheatsheaf last week (though un-ID'd, was passing Falcon Computer's in a friend's car and caught a glimpse). This could have been 35157 as I haven't seen it in a while - I'm free from 10am tomorrow so shall have a look around a little tomorrow...
