(28 Feb 2015, 10:26 am)AIG20 It appears that Slatyford MAN E200 39726 (NK09 EGY) has transferred to Walkergate Depot, for use on service 15/15A.

So it looks like Pointer Darts 34609-14 are transferring to Slatyford instead of Sunderland.

I should note that the MANviro Enviro200s are only Euro 4. It has been speculated recently that the new contract will stipulate the use of Euro 5 vehicles (hence the alluded transfer of ADL Enviro200s) opposed to Euro 4? Matt Williamson reports on Flickr that Dart 34614 has been exchanged for 39726.

(01 Mar 2015, 11:49 am)Michael Hopefully that's good news, means Sunderland don't loose any enviro's.
Although, i think its far from confirmed?
(22 Feb 2015, 1:31 pm)Michael I was told its gonna be euro 5... unless i was mis-informed!
(22 Feb 2015, 1:33 pm)Kuyoyo Stagecoach bid specified Euro5 vehicles as I understand it (that or Nexus changed the specification) and therefore, as I understand it, 34609-14 will be swapped for 6 of Sunderland's 36081-94

(01 Mar 2015, 11:55 am)Dan I agree that it's good news for us if the contract still is Euro 4 as per Nexus' original invitation to tender specification, but thought I'd query it in search of confirmation as it was suggested by you and Kuyoyo in the "Tender Discussion" thread that the new contract would be Euro 5:

It could do with deckers but they could do with sorting the reliability first - probably wants an extra bus in it but they won't do that.
If the X82 is anything to go by, the will simply remove some stops rather than add an extra bus. Which has been totally unsuccessful with reliability being as shocking as ever! As for upgrades, there are a number of Slatyford routes that would easily justify deckers. But given the last time this forgotten depot received a new full size bus is 2007...
It was revealed on Twitter last night that Stagecoach are holding an open meeting at Walkergate Depot to discuss traffic delays and possible solutions on Monday 23rd March between 6pm and 8pm. I'll defnitely be going! Stipulates, incidentally, that it is not an enthusiast event and no access will be provided to the buses.
"I have a old photo of old ALX 300 buses line up in Stockton depot on Sunday, It would be nice to see all of the new Enviro 300 buses line up on Sunday at Stockton depot to see them all lined up instead"
I've noticed a couple of nights recently some of the double deckers have been mixed in with the singles!
"Kuyoyo Wrote:
Although not yet seen to be confirmed, 22063 is reported to have returned to Stockton depot after its loan to Slatyford with reserve-allocated MAN 22471 has gone in the opposite direction."
22471 still in service at Stockton yesterday.

(05 Mar 2015, 7:04 pm)Malarkey Think Stagecoach should purchase some Optare Solo SRs for the 15/15A, that housing estate in Byker just after it stops outside Morrisons enroute to Newcastle is extremely tight for the MAN E200s.
