Got a good bit of acceleration on them, but if the driver catches the brakes slightly too heavily they have a habit of throwing you forward. 36083 I think has also found its way down here

(10 Oct 2018, 4:07 pm)Dans_bus_photos Another one must have arrived this afternoon as there is 2 currently over the pits at Sunderland. Do you know if anything has left Sunderland as a result?

Apparently 39666 and 39671 were on the 4 today.

Robin, I don't think Tez is being awkward. The questions your asking, you ask repeatedly. If you look through the past couple of weeks postings more than likely you will see all the information had been provided previously.

With Sunderland receiving older vehicles, it looks like reliability could go down hill especially when the 08 plate MANs have a reputation for unreliability on service 1 at Hartlepool. Hopefully they are placed on less demanding routes like the 8 and 18 as they will not be good for reliability on service 4.

No not yet, but it looks like a high volume of Enviro 300s are off.
The ones I haven't seen recently are:
27726
27729
27733
27734
27735

Clearly the Economic services are in need of brand new buses as these Enviro 300s are having regular faults.

I don't think we will have an 18 soon, numbers are still very low, can't see it making a profit, even with it hourly.

With no new orders for the NE this year, what cascades are we likely to receive?

It would be easier extending the 8 from Sunderland to Seaburn via the current 18. Then the remainder of the route replaced by a new route.

Also they could source two optare solos from Carlisle if they swap two Enviros.

1 hourly to the docks and 1 hourly to Seaburn?


Honestly, rest of the route, crosses with other services 

Gilley Law - 3
Thorney Close - 23 
Grindon - 16
Pennywell - 20
Pallion - 10/11 
Sunderland Hospital - 10/11/16 and 20
Southwick - 3,4,12,13 and 16
Seaburn - E1, E2 and E6
