(06 Oct 2014, 5:59 pm)Ebs They are being registered in Edinburgh by Alexander Dennis prior to delivery.
There were 4 outside AD this morning, of which 3 had left by this evening. However, i think they are taking a while to get down to Teesside. The ones outside this morning were SN64OKH, OKJ, OKK & OKL but all noted as delivered so far are in the SN64OJ_ batch. There have not been many gaps in the SN64O__ series at all so i'm guessing they are taking many days between leaving AD and arriving on Teeside.

(08 Oct 2014, 2:21 pm)Simmy Noticed that the E1 is diverted due to works on Ocean Road.
(08 Oct 2014, 4:27 pm)AIG20 Every time I've went past the rear of Sunderland Depot this week, all of the shutters have been closed meaning that I cannot see the vehicles inside. Hopefully I'll have better luck tomorrow.

It's what you've been waiting for - 27158 is presently being used on driver familiarisation trips out of Middlesbrough Bus Station along Newport Road, as seen here today
(08 Oct 2014, 6:57 pm)AIG20 Hopefully by this time next month many would have entered service with branding applied.
Will some have to be temporarily stored at another depot (like how some gas buses were stored at Walkergate) due to the storage/capacity issue?

The latest Enviro300 arrivals for Stockton include:
- 27162 (SN64 OJL), registered 08/10/14.
- 27163 (SN64 OJM), registered 09/10/14.
Further vehicles may have arrived yesterday, and it is expected that they will be registered with the DVLA at some point today, if so. Following the arrival of 27163, Richard Smiles reports that ADL is on-time with deliveries.
Fleet lists updated accordingly.
(10 Oct 2014, 4:06 pm)AIG20 From Whitburn towards South Shields, the 15:41 E2 was 10 minutes late, and the 15:46 E6 was 5 minutes late. Since these workings are the school run, they were clogged full of noisy teenagers - some were only on the bus to get off at the next two stops, which is incredibly lazy (especially on a nice day like today).

(10 Oct 2014, 7:02 pm)AIG20 The days are certainly numbered for 25 MAN ALX300s!
I wonder which ones will be withdrawn first?
Also, only 27157-65 will be entering service straight away - 27166-81 have been confirmed to me by one of the Union Representatives as being the branded examples (4 in each style as per Richard Smiles' prediction) and that they are to be launched on the 7th November.(10 Oct 2014, 7:02 pm)AIG20 The days are certainly numbered for 25 MAN ALX300s!
