They used to be banned from the 22’s due to not being able to meet the speed limit on Scotswood road. They need scrapped but that probably won’t happen for a while.

According to a SNE fans facebook page SNE has done abit of a convoluted exchange, E200 39713 has transferred from Sunderland to South Shields due to the gain of a nexus contract, however has been sent straight on loan to Slatyford to allow 19430 to come the other way to South Shields due to a shortage of E400s.
I believe this a bit of a short sighted decision as slatyford and newcastle as a whole is struggling, flagship services 62/63 are regularly operating single decks 300s and also with E200s a regular sight aswell massively impacting loadings. Cumbria have just offloaded around 5 ALX400s to disposal, it's a shame that Sunderland can't grab them for the shortfall until the deliveries scheduled in 2023 (I believe)

Stagecoach are advertising Megabus as a contrast to the ongoing rail strikes. I think they could've worded it better.

(14 Dec 2022, 11:56 pm)N391OTY Also it is looking like the whole batch 36461-79 could end up in Newcastle. 68-77 have been here a while of course, but others now seem to be joining them.

Hartlepool are going to be needing another bus now as 36461 is really knackered. It’s constantly breaking down and having problems with the doors. It needs to be scrapped. I think quite a few others are going the same way as well. Ideally Stagecoach should buying new buses for every north east deport with a few cascades to get rid of the worst buses.
There's a MAN E200 parked at the back of Sunderland depot having been painted all over white. Unable to identify due to the rear bumper having been removed- although 39711 has been tracking around the paintshop since last week
