(09 Oct 2017, 7:05 pm)RBZ 5459 It's been on the cards for months, so wouldn't hold your breath on it happening in the next few weeks. Possibly on hold now waiting for the new corporate livery to be finalised.

How long does it take to finalise a livery?


I think they'll look smart in the cooperate livery...... i do hope if Gas buses are part of the order, then they'll be for the 10/11 and 23, they'll need 18 in total, i would imagine some spares would be ordered... say around 3?





Current allocations:


3 - 9 PVR
12/13 - 11 PVR
16 - 10 PVR
20 - 5 PVR


Total: 35 plus 5 spare.

------------------------

10/11 - 10 PVR
23 - 8 PVR

Total: 18 plus 4 spares. 

--------------------------------

Overall - 

53 PVR total 
9 spares overall

-------------------

All Darts leave Sunderland, replaced by some of 36081 - 94, rest to cascade out to replace the MAN's.

Surely they can justify some new buses for the 100 in next years order, its well overdue an upgrade especially with the state of the current E300s 

Has 27730 just been de-branded or has it been treated to a repaint too?

Hopefully a few places in the NE get new buses, i do think the 100 deserves new buses too... would think they would be the new Enviro200 though.


Hopefully this orders, wipes half of the remaining MAN's out of service.

I still prefer the scanias that used to operate on the 100.

What's the current diversion for the X24 due to the roadworks on Felling Bypass, seen one earlier coming along Northumberland Way next to Usworth College heading towards Newcastle.

It didn't delay it all, arrived in Newcastle on time.

I'd say if it was to divert its best bet would be continue along Chester road to the a182, then a194m and a195 to rejoin its normal route at Heworth?

I was on the A19 this morning (heading north and in the car) and I was stuck for ages as I approached Testo's.

An X9/10 had diverted off in front of me and shot along the A1231.
If that (or an X24) had carried on at that particular time, it would have been delayed quite a bit on arriving in to Newcastle.
The A184 looked like it was stationery. The filter lane off the A19 wasnt moving at all.

Good to see they are starting on repainting them. Although I do like the blue gas livery they are starting to look abit shabby as most of them have bits of branding missing. Would be nice to see them route branded in the Stagecoach livery however I cant see that happening.

Stagecoach will be providing free transport to SAFC Fanfest on Monday, departing Coxhoe at 0915 and Nevilles Cross at 0930 to Stadium of Light. Return journey departs at 1500. Tickets must be registered in advance though Travel is free.
Might be interesting for someone who wants a photo of one in an unusual place!
