They only have two Evolutions, both of which are currently used on scholars afaik.
106 is certainly still used on a daily basis, so I can't see why 104 wouldn't be anymore.

If anything, 182 would probably be used (providing allocations don't change).

Was up for tender as Euro3 which the Dart wouldn't meet. Reduced from Euro4 originally, possibly to get a cheaper price? Could it possible Kingsleys have bidded with a non-confirming timetable operating deckers in between school contracts?

Unless they have a new vehicle or two up their sleeve?

Lothian buses did tweak some of their SPDs to improve their emmissions. I don't know if all of theirs SPDs attained at least Euro 3. Also there isn't really anything stopping him from using the Evos on the 33.

The Y-reg ones weren't touched by Lothian as far as I know. Certainly remember having a conversation with Stuart Monty when I was hunting down 192 about them only being Euro 2.

The only thing which is stopping them using the Evos is current allocations - both are required morning and afternoon for the same two scholars each and every day. Same drivers too, etc.

Lovely driver on 106. She's very pleasant.

Is this Service 33 supposed be competition for the X40, As noticed Hollywood Avenue is in Gosforth, or is it a Nexus Contract and I must say it's Great to see Kingsley's operating a proper Bus Service rather than Scholars/Works Services and Coach Hire, Hopefully they will get some more Services.

It's the exact same as the current Stagecoach 33 - secured by Nexus. Stagecoach appear to have given it up to allow buses to be freed up; hence allowing further ALX200 withdrawal.

It went up for tender some point in 2013 too but I assume Stagecoach suddenly decided it was viable again... Obviously they've now dropped it again. Various other parts of the "Newcastle Dart network" are up for tender too, along with a new evening service 71A.

That Nexus list I posted in the tender discussion thread will give a lot of clues away. Anything with 6-12 months remaining in contract length you'd expect to be in the process.

Does anyone have a more definite idea of what Kingsley's will be using on the 33 and is there any likelihood that they will ever be in Nexus livery?
