(07 Sep 2018, 8:36 am)Kuyoyo 22424 is one of the 30 Alexander Dennis ALX300-bodied MANs delivered to the Yorkshire division in 2007 - unlike the rest of the ALX300s, these are 18.240s same as the E300-bodied examples (and 22508-15) which only delivered with ALX bodywork as the revised E300 styling wasn't completed at that stage. The majority of the 30 in Yorkshire are now withdrawn either awaiting disposal or further use within the group (a small amount are being used in a reserve capacity in Yorkshire).

Is it staying at Sunderland or going somewhere else instead. I believe 19209 got sent back to Newcastle yesterday so we still have 19641-644. Are Shields getting anything in October. Robin

(09 Sep 2018, 10:26 am)S830OFT What's the purpose in allocating 2 deckers to the 18 when Walkergate have 3 spare single decks which see regular use on the 12/22.
Also how long have the 03 plate MANs have left in service?

Also not yet mentioned, although strictly not North East based but related, is the conversion of one of the Carlisle 685 turns to double decker operation during school term from today (as reported on various regional Facebook groups). 18326 is working the second of their two turns:
0705, 1215, 1730 from Carlisle
0945, 1445, 1955 from Newcastle
All posting about this has mentioned that, pending the hopeful arrival of a more suitable specification decker next month, the likely allocated decker for the turn will be 19144 - returning it to its original home city on trips.
