(30 Nov 2013, 9:06 am)Richard Smiles It is probably therefore for repaint Dan.

If you manage any photos of the GAS buses, I will put one on the front cover of the next Busways Fleet List.

Kind Regards Richard

They're hidden away from us enthusiasts, Richard! All behind closed doors at the Wheatsheaf.
I think Stagecoach may want to surprise both enthusiasts and members of the public.

Gregg delivers them, I guess Stagecoach didn't really anticipate an enthusiast would be delivering them. Definitely hidden away from us now though. Won't work forever of course because they will need the space inside for maintenance.

Thanks Scott, are 16831/16835 still on site at Stockton or have they actually left the fleet (premises). I will obviously update my Fleet List with this information.

(30 Nov 2013, 8:28 am)Dan A scruffy looking 22660 is at Sunderland today, rather than its usual home of Stockton.

Did you happen to get a photo of 22660 this morning Dan ? in its scruffy state,and was it round the back where the Paint bays are, I am guessing that it is why it is at Sunderland.

May have looked scruffy because it had been sanded down ready for repaint. Regards Richard

I did, and it was.
It didn't appear to have been sanded down, it just looked like it must have missed its wash and came straight up to Sunderland after service - obviously this was at 8am, so it was likely to be the night before when it arrived.

(30 Nov 2013, 3:10 pm)Richard Smiles It is certainly due for a repaint. According to my records 22660 was last repainted in September 2009, so just over 4 years ago.

Looking at the photos, panels have been replaced too - definitely looks like it's a repaint.

Has anyone got the timings for the Megabus Services in Newcastle and Sunderland which use the Elite i's, any other timings for other Services would also be appreciated. Decided I am going to start building a Megabus Collection as I have only a few Megabus Photos.

Scott (tyresmoke) combined together a Megabus PDF with all of the timings on for Megabus arrivals/departures at Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough - the thread is entitled 'Megabus', should be in the 'Other Operators' section.

The Rugby based Elites work the M36 to Plymouth alongside the M35 journeys to and from Rugby wrapped around it.
The Cwmbran (?) based ones operate the M20 through Newcastle at 1440 and 1520 (one north, one south)... Will have a look for the proper times when I get home if you can't find them. Check the Megabus thread in other ops section too Smile
