(19 Jan 2024, 7:58 pm)toward6931 I don't think the 20 yutongs will be enough to displace the gas buses, so I can't see any of the diesel vehicle's moving just yet

The 27***'s are supposed to be leaving Sunderland when the Electrics arrive, apparently they've been delayed so no idea when they'll turn up.

I heard that the gas facilities needs to be pulled out before the electric chargers can be installed... however not sure how true that is.

i could be wrong but i think they have decided to move the gas buses on before cascading the diesels whereas before the gas and electrics were meant to be in service together.... happy to be corrected if this is wrong

Hopefully, they're getting worse as the weeks go on, be interesting to see what they would get in a temp fleet.

Must say if that's all Stagecoach are ordering for this full year then they're very quickly going into First territory in terms of the state of the fleet, these new owners really aren't investing enough outside of Scotland.

Single deckers across the whole company is becoming bordering a heritage fleet and there's no way enough there. The North East fleet nearly had as many orders alone in 2009 which on paper should be going than the whole country.

If they don't step up soon, it could end up ugly.
