(26 May 2017, 12:15 pm)Kuyoyo 24005 is still in Stockton yard as of this morning.



Meanwhile, the entire fleet of ex-Newcastle Enviros are now in service with 27508 out on 10/11 today. However, 27507 was returning to the depot as I walked back up from there and 27509 was parked in the middle shed.

What about 27510?

(23 May 2017, 9:47 pm)Kuyoyo Interesting development I've just been informed of - 24005 has turned up at Stockton depot

Photo by Multi21

Read and heard that 24005 is for the X24 as a spare, if so i wonder if it'll be branded up for the X24, as the Omnilinks go on no other routes.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Would make sense for it to go corporate liveried and serve as spare for both X24 and X55.  Sunderland as a base could work well as a spare for X55 as Sunderland is midway along the route so not too long to recover mileage etc in the event of a breakdown - though I'm not sure they would have a Sunderland based vehicle operating a Stockton route.

Reported on Facebook that 24113/4/5 have moved from Stockton to Slatyford, replaced by some ADL Enviro 300s from Shields. Unsure on identities yet

So what is replacing (or temporarily replacing) those South Shields ADL E300s?

As the service changes at South Shields take place next Sunday (4th June). I thought that the "E's" no longer stopping at PLI wouldn't effect the overall PVR - to prevent the buses from running late.

I believe the PVR of the E1/E2/E6 reduces by 1, from 4th June.

They could have reduced it by 2, but this would have only allowed one minute recovery time in Sunderland. Instead, the service will be scheduled to have 7 minutes layover on Fawcett Street.

From this date, Go North East's service 9 will consequently serve stop 18 on Fawcett Street instead of stop 17 - i.e. one stop earlier, the same as services 20/20A, opposite Beautiful Homes. This groups all of Go North East's Newcastle Road services together on one stand, and gives Stagecoach a dedicated stand for its E1/E2/E6 services in the event that the 7-minute layover is required, but in reality, I doubt the service will require it, and this layover is just built into the timetable to ensure it departs Sunderland on time.

39702,03,04 have returned home today to displace 3 E300's to Stockton, There's 2 Branded ones in the Maintenance bays tonight which makes me think there getting prepped for transfer.
35188 is now in full vision at Shields, Currently on the Jack's receiving attention before entering service.

Don't know the identity's of the 3 leaving.

Logical, given that 27723 and 27724 weren't branded. Has 27725 lost its "get there with E's" branding yet? I assume this means that 27726 - 27740 are retained as part of the PVR for the E1/E2/E6, and 39702-04 are the allocated spare vehicles for the services.

Stagecoach North East Bus Depot reports that 35194 was seen parked up with the service fleet yesterday with a ticket machine installed, so has presumably been reinstated at Slatyford.

39701, 39707 and 36479 are on the E1/E2/E6 today.

39707 was jam-packed heading towards Sunderland this morning.

Assuming 24113-5 are for the 100, will the two VOR MAN E300s be returning to service once repaired (not including the severely accident damaged one)?

Slatyford appear to be having a nightmare with these former Scotland vehicles - including the Kinetics.
