No, but I could have drilled for oil with my Dewalt cordless in the time it's taken them.

Not sure how often this happens but Volvo B10M trainer 20552 (P552 ESA) was used as the run around for the X34 driver changes at Horsley Hill this morning.

Usually Ford Fiesta 92984 (YK59 UGN) is used.

22669 is currently VOR at South Shields for engine work. The number you mentioned there is reasonable given Stockton's daily PVR is 69 (including School workings) with a daily allocation of 78 (plus 3 reverse B10BLEs).

The latest repaint at Stockton depot is 22204.

Edit: Kuyoyo beat me too it haha.

The latest fleet cards that I have access to (Period 9) show that:

22174, 22193, 22195, 22197, 22198, 22199, 22201, 22202, 22204, 22206, 22208, 22210, 22211, 22451, 22452, 22454, 22455, 22456, 22465, 22466, 22469, 22470, 22471, 22493, 22656, 22657, 22658, 22659, 22660, 22661, 22663, 22665, 22667, 22668, 22669, 22670, 22674

are all in service at Stockton, so there should be quite a few knocking around Teesside. 22669 has been receiving attention at South Shields recently, and it may still be there.

Nothing has transferred to Teesside to replace these older MANs and indeed the main MAN withdrawls this year will be from Sunderland when the Scania Enviro 300's enter service soon Smile.

Firstly, it's Teesside (2 S, Tees-side).

Secondly, as Stagecoach are likely aiming to replace the majority of the full-size non-DDA MANs this year, it's likely a large number of Stockton's will also bite the bullet, depending of course on what is ordered and for where and how many.

Not sure, more likely to be cascades from Sunderland etc when the gas buses enter service however not sure when that will be.

23 more gas buses are due to arrive at Sunderland by end of the year bringing the total to 40.

The 36***'s arrival at Sunderland resulting in the cascade of the 35***'s caused a neighbouring plea from Newcastle if you like, because they were in much greater need to withdrawn their non-DDA ALX200 Darts, since investment in midi-buses was taken more priority outside of Newcastle. So until further orders to cascade Darts, I'd say there is no rush to get the 35***'s back to their original home, especially with investment back in 2011 of their 61-plate E200's - which ousted the 35*** series Darts from Shields in the first place! Matt.
