Yesterday (20/11/21), 22026 has had it's doors smashed in on West Denton Way, West Denton. The bus was leaving the bus stop directly outside the Go Outdoors when someone threw something which smashed the doors. West Denton has a real problem with ASB and this is not the first instance of smashed buses etc....

(13 Nov 2021, 8:09 pm)54APhotography May be a stop over, but it would be great if a lot more came and sent the manviro's for scrap....At least one of the Yorkshire darts has been in service not sure on fleet number seen one of them doing a service 1 towards Seaton Carew. I was passing it going towards the town centre. This was on Saturday though.

(23 Nov 2021, 10:39 am)Kuyoyo Because the VIX machines used by Stagecoach have the vehicle's data stored in the base plate rather than having to reprogram the ticket machine with the right fleetnumber every time a faulty machine is replaced. So vehicles should always track as themselves (apart from the single issue a few months ago where one of the 69-plate E400MMCs was tracking as one of the B9TLs but other than that)Yes indeed, I did look and think the Dart was tracking as 39666

South Shields now has 3, 4, 10, 11, E2 and E6 . If I remember correctly though Sunderland depot operated all of these last year and Shiellds closed for the day.

More of a question really,but anyone know why the 39/40 buses have been creeping onto other routes lately,seems rather odd,but then the ones missing off the 39/40 have ones in their place that should be on those other routes
E.g
Classic 400 was on the 39, E400MMC on the 22
