(26 Jun 2014, 4:13 pm)AIG20 When I walked past Sunderland Depot at 14:10, only one MAN ALX300 (22077) remained, alongside those three Gas Buses. I'm sure 22666 (V166 DEF) is still in service as I seen it crossing the Wearmouth Bridge whilst at college, as this still has a rear "Southmoor Academy" advertisement.

(26 Jun 2014, 4:32 pm)AIG20 I think 22078-22082 should be the only MAN ALX300s remaining once all of the Gas Buses enter service, and these should be allocated to service 12. One or two non-DDA MANs may also be kept as reserve vehicles as well.

(27 Jun 2014, 7:26 am)Dan It's unlikely.
South Shields are currently destined to be losing two of their 22xxx MAN 18.220LF/Alexander ALX300s next month (subject to confirmation - a possible PVR increase was mentioned), when they receive two brand new ADL E200s.

(27 Jun 2014, 12:23 pm)AIG20 If nothing appears on VOSA, the new E200s will be allocated to either the X20 (currently ran by MAN ALX300s) or the 12/12A (currently ran by Pointer Darts) - which both have a PVR of 2.

(27 Jun 2014, 1:09 pm)AIG20 Sorry, I should have said "maybe" instead of "will be" as I was only making an assumption of the service(s) that the new buses could be allocated to once they arrive and enter service.I believe they will be used in exactly the same way the current 36XXX buses are used
I think its best just to wait and see what actually happens.

I noticed today that the flip-dot display of 22028 displayed "30 Fawdon Park Road via Town Moor" instead of the usual "via Gosforth". I am guessing that this is an attempt to attract visitors of the Hoppings fair ground this week to use the service.
The LED display of 22021 (which followed 22028 on service 30) had the usual display of the service (not including the Town Moor).
(27 Jun 2014, 6:43 pm)AIG20 The rear display of ADL E300 27734 has failed, as nothing shows up on it. I assume a either a loose cable may be the problem, or the circuit board may have failed.
