(31 May 2014, 9:31 pm)Richard Smiles Following on from Dan's earlier update, following an email received just about 20 minutes ago, I am able to add to Dan's list as follows:
28025 = YR14 CGF (As reported by Dan)
and now in addition (yet to be registered with the DVLA):
28026 = YR14 CGG
28027 = YR14 CGK
These two vehicles, will therefore complete the first batch of 10, as the deliveries are in two batches. The second batch are the outstanding 13 vehicles (28028 - 28040).
These vehicles are confirmed as being the batch bid for, for service 3 though they will probably pop up on existing GAS bus operated routes.
In addition, it appears that the remaining 13 vehicles, will be delivered in a couple of weeks time, from Mid June, so there will be a gap of a couple of weeks, before the rest are delivered, so registration numbers are likely to differ again.

(01 Jun 2014, 8:51 am)Richard Smiles It will take a few days to prepare them for service Michael, Fleet Names, Numbers, Legal Lettering etc.
In addition, although the vehicles can be registered online with the DVLA. Stagecoach still has to wait for the postman (Snail Mail) to deliver a number of Hard Copy documents, including the Tax Disc/Operators Licence Disc which is displayed in the window.

(01 Jun 2014, 8:54 am)Michael I thought the tax thing was changed so it didn't have to be displayed on the bus?

(01 Jun 2014, 9:01 am)Richard Smiles I am just wondering even after the paper Tax Disc gets dropped, whether the company's will still have to display the Operator's Licence Disc. I am guessing that will still be case ?.
Hello all
Tried the South Shields Shuttle (or whatever it is called) today for the first time. Noticed on my ticket, the bus number is down as 21156 and the route is 998. Would anyone happen to know what 'route number' if any the sightseeing route in Newcastle is?
Also, would be nice to have a summer seafront service between Sunderland and South Shields (I'm sure the E1 used to serve all stops along the coast although it is only a vague memory).

I am glad 33101 has gone and that 22734 is a better bus it also looks clean. I was surprized that the rest moved to Carlisle with 22735 going to Newcastle. Cant wait to see are two new Buses Arrive in July. Regards Robin
(02 Jun 2014, 2:53 pm)Richard Smiles Michael, The answer to your question is Yes 28026 & 28027 are now here complete with Registration Plates, but not yet with Fleet Numbers applied.
I know this, because I've just been sent a photo in the last few minutes.

(03 Jun 2014, 9:53 am)Richard Smiles Following the original post above, did any members aside from myself submit photos for the above, as the request for North East Photos has now been removed from the website. We therefore have to assume that, there has been a good response to this as photos appear to be no longer required.
