Wasn't it mooted last year that there was a possible e300/e400 swap between shields and byker to increase capacity on busiest economic runs? Also as this July marks 20 years since stagecoach acquired busways wouldn't it be great if it was marked by repainting one vehicle from each division into respective busways liverys? Just a thought

(07 Feb 2014, 6:30 pm)DavidP I've seen this mentioned before on here but no explanation as to what's wrong with the current (and stable!) network. I don't live in the North East any more so I can't see for myself the issues that there may be with this network so can I ask you to expand on this please?
Kind Regards

I just think stagecoach need to introduce or extend some routes. It was 2005 when we had a major shake up. Loads of new estates opened up and some gone. New shopping areas. Perhaps have some to Washington Seaham. Don't get me wrong some routes are good but others ie 18/19 run empty. What routes could open up?? Looking forward to gas buses
