(08 Sep 2017, 8:45 pm)RBZ 5459 Think Stagecoach were keen on pushing their more luxurious Gold brand with novelties such as Wi-Fi and Plug Sockets etc, keeping their normal spec the same. The gap between standard and more luxurious passenger spec has been narrowing, meaning that passengers expect such additions as standard. Stagecoach just took a while to build on their standard spec!

Makes sense in a way, having luxury and normal and maintaining a significant difference between them. Certainly good the gap is narrowing though. Would be nice to have Stagecoach Gold in Newcastle. Clearly Stagecoach has improved recently. Could Stagecoach Gold be in danger though, if the features become standard on normal Stagecoach bus services?

Stagecoach takes a while to do anything, including turning up sometimes! But in seriousness, they are not bad on the whole and improving.

They were transferred due to PVR reduction, although I can't see it happening it would be nice to see them transfer back to Shields.
Reasons:
Allow service's 30 and X20 to be allocated the E300s.
Spare E300 for Economics.
So, unless Stockton find a way to replace them there stuck there.

They aren't going anywhere from Stockton. Stockton's PVR didn't change with last month's changes - so all vehicles at Stockton are needed.

If anything, the fact there was no change to Stockton's PVR, would hopefully see Stockton's remaining MAN/ALX300s replaced before too long............

So, unless Stockton find a way to replace them there stuck there.

The 30 and X20 are allocated E200's, 30 interworking with the 10/11 and using the Integral's ( 364**/37143-44/373** )'s and the X20 using MAN 18.240 chassied E200's ( 397** )

However the MAN's on the X20 were quickly removed and placed on 17 and 18's which I believe was due to most boards having a shorter working day than on 10/11/30/X20's, Aswell as the MAN's being way overpowered for the job which of course makes them drink more fuel, Aswell as them having smaller Fuel Tank's than the Integral's.

E300's these days tend to stick to only the E1/2/6, With one of the MAN E200's thrown in on a shorter board, Aswell as the Summer extra board which utilises whichever E400 is not on X34's.

Integral E200's are now allocated to all boards of the 10/11 and 30 aswell as the X20.

(10 Sep 2017, 8:37 pm)S830OFT Sorry, I was referring to the PVR reduction at South Shields depot.

The transfer of 22723-25 to Stockton was nothing to do with PVR changes. 

27723-25 moved to Stockton as part of the bizarre three-way exchange which saw 24113-15 move to Slatyford and 39702-04 to South Shields, which took place shortly before the service cuts in Shields.  The South Shields PVR changes released 36461-67 to Hartlepool.

24001 getting a lift home courtesy of Alpha this evening.
The back end was filthy and initially, it looked like smoke damage.
As I got closer, it looked like muck - rather than smoke.

Is there a reason why the South Shields ADL E300s have had the "Get there with E's" tagline removed?
