(09 Sep 2014, 12:29 pm)AIG20 It appears one of South Shields ADL E300s may be VOR due to there being so many rare/odd workings recently. If this is the case I assume it may be 27738 as I haven't seen it in a while. Does anyone know what is wrong with it?27738 was the bus involved in the serious accident on Highfield Road.

(10 Sep 2014, 7:55 am)AIG20 I'm sure that all of the engines in that batch of ADL E400s are "Euro 4". So when they replace it they might as well put a "Euro 5", or even better a "Euro 6" engine in if they can - if those engines aren't too expensive.It's not just cost, it's the engine size etc too

(10 Sep 2014, 2:34 pm)MRmoxy to be honest I doubt they will invest to heavily in new buses or engines until the quality contract control debacle is sortedI think it'd be wrong not to continue steady investment, as its going to be more expensive if QCS comes in and they've held off.

Souter pulling out is a bluff.

(10 Sep 2014, 8:32 am)Simmy Out of interest, does anyone know why the 'named' Enviro 200s had their names removed? E.g. I remember Bertie, Ozzy etc.
(11 Sep 2014, 12:46 am)MRmoxy I don't know, he gets a decent profit from the investment he makes in Newcastle, he wont make the same investment if he is getting £20 million a year less from it

(11 Sep 2014, 8:26 am)Andreos Constantopolous £20m?The resources in the North East could be pumped into other regions or Stagecoach could in fact set up shop elsewhere in the UK, to make more profit than they would in the North East under a Quality Contracts scheme.
Whatever he makes currently, it will be a lot less if he pulls out completely.

(11 Sep 2014, 3:42 pm)AIG20 When I walked past the rear of the depot at 15:10, ADL E300 "NK11 BGU" (27737) has been debranded and is getting sanded down ready for repaint. Will it get rebranded, repainted into corporate livery, or will the "Economic" livery return!

(11 Sep 2014, 7:34 am)AIG20 ADL E300 27728 appears to be having stalling/cutting out issues this morning. Whilst travelling on it to college its engine cut out whilst the driver was having a small layover at Seaburn Morrisons, and it almost cut out again at the traffic lights at the Wheatsheaf, but the driver revved it to avoid this from occuring again.
In other news, 16839 (R839 OVN) and the tax expired 22673 (V673 DDC) are still at the rear of Sunderland depot - the same place as they were on Tuesday, along side a gas bus 28021.
