(25 Apr 2017, 5:46 pm)Dan Fleet list/news should all be up to date again now - but if anyone spots anything that isn't right or hasn't been captured, give me a shout!

Is 36464 still at Slatyford?

Back at Shields, was just for the day.

They won't openly try and find a buyer, but they are up on disposals if any region fancies any. Wouldn't have thought the Group has offered them for external sale just yet - which would probably mean the likes of Alpha and Wigleys taking a punt at then given their age. The likes of the 54 platers are also in that pot too, possibly all of Stocktons come network changes.

BIB: depends how serve they are. From what I've heard on the grapevine, Stockton are only expected to see a PVR drop of 6 - which would in theory see the MANs off. In reality however, given a disposal example is still in service here (until 27508 enters service or 27510 is sorted in theory), that might not see all of them off.

I would have expected a drop of 6 or 7 given the other depots have all seen cuts in the region of 10% of their output. Will be interesting to see where those will come from

Well, from what I've heard:

13 reduced to Middlesbrough-Salters Lane only - saving of 2 buses
14/34 reduced to half hourly - again saving 2 buses

The other one heard is the 39 reduced to every 15 minutes from the current 9-12 minutes variation. However, I can't see how that saves two buses when it ideally needs more running time rather than less.

Are all of the Volvo B10Ms being withdrawn? I assume the 54-plate MAN ALX300s could be possible replacements?

20552 is also looking a bit worn out. It was definitely due some bodywork repairs and a repaint when I seen it a few weeks ago.

14 I believe, across the two depots. No doubt the spares percentage will also dictate a further bus being withdrawn from each depot so likely that 16 will be the final figure of displaced buses.
