(01 Sep 2014, 1:47 pm)AIG20 I know that at least one brand new ADL E300 from another batch may attend the open day, but could this include one of Sunderland's Gas Buses as a bus from the "future"?

Yes - one of the Scanias is attending, along with a E400H from Walkergate and the new E300 (which we may have to make signs regarding their Specification, which is a hint as to where they are coming from Wink )

(02 Sep 2014, 7:34 am)AIG20 Gas buses 28023 and 28024 and ADL E200 36979 are at the rear of Sunderland Depot this morning, alongside those two coaches and 22673.

I wonder why 22673 is back at Sunderland?

22673's tax ran out on Sunday.

By "what the work is yet to be finalised" you mean no-one's told you yet. I'm sure they'd know full well what they intend to do with them before transferring them.

By that, I mean exactly that! A few people have an idea of what might be coming but apart from that, things are still be discussed. All that is certain is that the route will be operating from Newcastle.
