A Euro 2 MAN ( Either 22215 or 22673, But ive got a feeling its the latter ) has arrived at South Shields for a unknown reason, Currently parked in the Top Shed.

Another thing to note is that Ex Slatyford and South Shields MAN 18.220 / Transbus ALX300 22022 is earmarked to become a driver trainer, So id take a hint that the B10M's day's are quickly coming to a end...

(24 Feb 2017, 10:03 am)NK53 TKT Does anyone know the board that the streetdeck is on on the 38

Not sure if it's been noted, but it's been working the same board every day to my knowledge. 0732 off Whickham View (M-F), with the MMC on the board behind.

22022 has moved to the driving school as a Route Learner on paper, rather than a full on training vehicle like the B10Ms. It's very much still acting as a reserve vehicle at present at Slatyford, infact it was in use at Walkergate last week.

19201/202 are simply part of the reserve fleet for now at Walkergate, would expect them to move across once service changes happen as Walkergate seem to be tight on buses at the moment.

22017 appears to have finally come off after operating on 36/37s on Tuesday. Yesterday had joined the ex Busways examples in Crocks Row.
16462 seems to have disappeared while 16463 had its engine running yesterday.

A gas bus appears to be on road test around Whitburn. Just turned onto Lizard Lane from Kitchener Road. If I hadn't been onboard 27739 I would have took a pic.  Undecided
