(27 Sep 2015, 12:44 pm)Dan Hopefully not if they want to continue allocating E200s...

The SUNderland Bus branded one I saw last night heading to town (would have been the last one from town to Seaburn at around 9pm) was packed.

Shame we don't have any E400's at Sunderland Wink
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Well you know my thoughts on the lack of double deckers at Sunderland..!

Quite a few members of the forum went to Edinburgh yesterday and would have noticed that the majority of Lothian's fleet comprises of double deckers. There's no way double deck capacity is needed during the day but they provide double deckers as single deckers could not cope with the peak-time loadings.

Shame we don't see more of that with Stagecoach.

I think a few services could do with deckers during peak time... but i doubt that'll ever happen in Sunderland.... unless they bid for this Gas bus double decker, if it ever happens! Wink

(26 Sep 2015, 8:21 pm)Dan ADL Enviro200s on the Sunderland Illuminations services tonight. Hopefully gas buses are provided tomorrow - the extra capacity is needed...

(27 Sep 2015, 12:37 pm)Michael How many buses are they using on the 101?

Gas buses were indeed allocated today. I noted 28028 and 28037 on the first two departures from Seaburn this afternoon while I was there; strangely, two different destinations were being used.

Perhaps worth noting that 28037 worked service 4 earlier in the day (as depicted below). I'm not sure if the Sunday ones are going to run off 4s or if the bus was just spare in the depot after end of play..?

(26 Sep 2015, 1:22 pm)Kuyoyo They will be withdrawn next summer with the end of the Macmillan school contracts.

How come assumptions like this are allowed to remain yet when I correect hm the comment is removed? You'd rather have incorrect information on the forum than upset your pathetic mate. He hasn't a clue whether they'll go. All he knows is that a parent at a parents' evening was told the contracts were finishing.

Instead of assuming I'm making assumptions maybe get your facts right!!!! The person who showed me the photo is a prospective parent - who also happens to be a Stagecoach driver. Regardless of whether the Macmillans were staying or not, as all 8 of Stockton's deckers are not DDA, they would in theory be going next summer anyway, just now we don't need replacements.

Our forum rules state:
"If a piece of information is speculation or unconfirmed, please ensure that you make this clear within the body of your post."

Kuyoyo has previously stated that the information came from a prospective parent at the aforementioned school, and as such, he complied with the rules of the forum. You did not correct him - you merely said "He guesses". Sometimes Kuyoyo's posts are a little abrupt, but you are also guilty of the same thing. Intentional or not - the post I removed was a good example of this. In future, if Kuyoyo makes abrupt posts which other members find offensive, they will be moderated in the same way.

Try wording your post differently next time - perhaps a little less abrupt - which may avoid any possible offence being caused. Also; in future, if you want to question a post which has been moderated, please send a Private Message to me. I'm not going to justify my actions to you (or anyone else) on the public domain any longer, as this is likely to add more fuel to the fire (not forgetting getting the thread off-topic even further).

Nothing to stop Stagecoach (or indeed any other operator!) running the school services commercially. The reason they're being dropped is due to lack of usage but I suspect this is being strangled by the fares charged!
The kids still have to get to school so I would certainly expect some parts of the network to be picked up.

In other news, 22466 is now withdrawn at Stockton

Indeed - but for now, we know the current guise is going and more than likely see the end for the current deckers with none being DDA.

In addition to the withdrawal of 22466, 22012 has transferred from Stockton to Slatyford (details thanks to Lee Armstrong on 'The Northern Road Transport Trust' Facebook Group) and has entered service today on 10/11.
