(04 Jun 2017, 5:56 pm)beefcake Service 6/7 getting evening services comes across as a bit of a strange one, especially considering that the 7 runs until around 2200 as it is Sun-Thurs. I think these could be made more successful if services could be better co-ordinated with the 36 arriving from Teesside. The 7 could be achieved by putting services back 10 minutes, which on paper would leave a 5 minute connection between the services on Victoria Road. Co-ordinating with the 6 could be a bit more difficult as it would seem pointless having 2 buses in tandem between York Road and Owton Manor Lane. Possibly reducing evening 6's to every 30 minutes and having a service between Town and Owton Manor every 15 minutes could solve this though, as well as leaving adequate time for connections.


As the 6 and 36 share the route south of the town centre I'd suggest rather than having a 20 min frequency on evening 6s - have them run every 30 mins but following the route of the 3 south of the town. This would use the same amount of vehicles but a wider area would be served. In a dream world it would continue to Seaton via Golden Flatts......and be called the 15.

(03 Jun 2017, 4:16 pm)Dans_bus_photos I'm sure I heard that aswell somewhere, but every time I'm in Hartlepool there is normally about 2 of them on with the darts allocated to the other services. They are going to have to start replacing them soon though as they are now the oldest midi buses in the fleet, and I cant see the 1 warranting new vehicles.

Why not? They did last time.

27726 broke down this morning whilst operating the E6 to Sunderland at 07:00.

A replacement ADL E300 arrived and set off just as the next E6 was going past.

After lots of toing and froing between the drivers cab and engine bay, including making lots of phone calls, the engineer eventually got it going.





Information From Steven Knight Media:

Look out for Enviro 200s 36461-67 transferring from South Shields, where they have been made surplus following service revisions there, to Hartlepool. The first two vehicles to transfer are 36462/66. They are due to replace Dart SLFs 34550 and 35155-50 which will be withdrawn for disposal or cascade within Stagecoach UK Bus. 
It is interesting that Hartlepool will be receiving some ADL E200s instead of more MAN E200s.

Judging by the fact they replaced 39702-4 at Slatyford reducing the depot's midibus allocation, the fact they are being used on the 71 would suggest the move was to allow the 71 to be converted to full size operation.
