Stagecoach North East
Withdrawn MAN/ALX300 22042 is the latest vehicle to be collected from Stockton depot by Alpha Recovery, Weetslade for scrap. It was collected on Thursday 21st February 2019.
Slatyford based, MAN/Enviro 300 24115 returned to Slatyford on 28 February 2019 having received a Cummins Euro 6 engine conversion at ADL, Anston.
At least three of the Stockton based Enviro 300s have lost their ‘Zone’ branding on repaint. 27166 and 27168 lost their branding in January 2019, followed by 27181 in February 2019.
There have been reports in the local press that South Shields depot is proposing to reduce part of its operations by transferring 55 drivers and 22 buses to other depots. It is believed that service X34 will possibly be transferred to Walkergate depot, with the ‘E’ Group of services being moved to Sunderland. If this proposed change goes ahead, it is likely to take place in June or July 2019.

Afew questions I have.
1. What time does thecbus for the 10.40 M33 on Saturdays get into Newcastle so I can get a good pic of it arriving when I get it in a few weeks?
2. What depot in what part of the UK operates the 10.40 M33 on a Saturday?
3. Are megabus purchasing any 19 reg elites?
Thanks in advance.

I believe it is operated by Rugby Depot, Stagecoach Orders for 2019 are yet to be confirmed they are usually confirmed by the end of April, I would imagine there will be some more Elite i's on order replacing older Elite i's on Megabus Duties.

Will be interesting to see how it pans out that's for sure. Whitley Bay and North Shields is hardly the likes of Scarborough, though does have the caravan park which may help a bit.
