Though there not intended for the 3/4/7/8, its just like how the 61 reg batch when new worked the 17/18 for a bit before moving over to there intended routes.

I assume 37301/2 have entered service as well. This means that some current vehicles will now be withdrawn and cascaded to other depots.

Entering service quite fast, has anymore arrived?
The last non DDA reserve MAN will of being withdrawn, i would imagine the darts are ready to transfer out? or will it be the DDA MAN's first?
Least the SC fleet list can be updated now!

22734 will get withdrawn....but not now, later into the summer holidays. This batch of new E200s will replace the 14 MANviros and the 5 Darts with the MANs going to Slatyford for the 6/7/8s and the Darts to Hartlepool apparently. 22050/67/70 will stay at Sheilds as Kuyoyo confirmed, 2 for the X20 and 1 spare.
The 6 ex Dundee E400s will not head for Teeside, 3 for the X34 and the rest to Newcastle with 19194/6/7 to finish the Double decker crisis currently going on there, so in the end 19194/6/7 will not stay for the Es. The MANs displaced from the E400s will move to reserve roles throughout the fleet replacing most non DDA MANs. The Darts from 6/7/8 will move everywhere, a few will move to Walkergate to replace the remaining 04 reg Darts and the rest..... God knows where they will go! the most Reserve or transfer to another fleet.
The Es wil stay Single Deck for this year at least. My prediction is these routes will get converted to double deck in next if not the year afters orders with the E300s replacing MANs ALX300s in the City but that's a different story.
Maybe a short term loan of Olympians 16833 and 39 to cover the Es for the summer might help seem as though there still legal to use ( until 2017 when DDA comes for Deckers aswell )

(01 Jul 2015, 5:46 pm)South Tyne Lad I doubt it. Though im not a expert on Sunderland's fleet from my memory isn't there only 2 or 3 Darts left at Wheatsheaf? add that to the 2 MANs and that's only 5 out of 14
It might be better to transfer all to Slatyford so more MANs and Darts can be replaced, Though anything can happen We will just have to wait and see.......

(01 Jul 2015, 5:31 pm)South Tyne LadThe X34 really needs 4 double decker's as there is an odd working nearly every day on the X34, which sometimes is an ADL E200!

(01 Jul 2015, 7:16 pm)uth Tyne Lad I fell embarrassed! How can I forget the odd workings when I see them everyday?! A E400 passes light up to Pilgrim Street in front of my house around 5:30pm everydayMore odd workings on the cards for X34 with the new timetable. Before 8am there will be 2 X34s within 15 minutes of each other then none for an hour til nearly 9am. Sounds a bit mental the new peak time workings.
But normally there can be the odd E300 or E200 like you said, sometimes on the very rare occasion a MANviro or a Dart!
Bloody hell A Dart?! Yes that's what I was thinking when I saw it
Yeah it does need a 4th E400, But I still think 19194/6/7 should transfer back to Slatyford.

It seems some people missed part of last night's discussion..............
The X34 is planned to go every 20 minutes at some point this year, for which these 6 E400s have arrived to work. 19194/6/7 will return to Newcastle once 3 of the 6 new ones are ready for service. If the X34 frequency increase doesn't happen, what happens with the other 3 is not known.
As for the cascades as a result of 37301-19, I don't know the exact details but I think I can safely say Stockton and Walkergate aren't in any of these cascade plans
(02 Jul 2015, 3:08 pm)Michael Another 2 E400's have arrived today making 4/6.
