(13 Feb 2024, 5:58 pm)GrahamD83 Are all of the remaining gas buses at Sunderland to be eventually sold off, or are some being retained?

There are around 30 gas buses left in service, but only 20 electric buses on order which leaves a shortfall of around ten vehicles, meaning some secondhand acquisitions would be needed or further service reductions.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned in the latest news thread, it’s sometimes tricky to keep track of that is actually going on over there.

Think the plan is now for the 27*** buses to replace the remaining gas buses, likely to replace 39731/32 too.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

I think 36050 was meant to replace one of the 39s eventually. 28001-20 I believe are staying for the time being with 21-40 being sold on.

Truth is though I don't think even Stagecoach themselves know what the plan is.

I'll pretend to be shocked.

Really would of thought they'll of had a plan, oh well, they might surprise us and keep the remaining gas buses alongside the electrics.

Well the chargers are apparently going in the shed, so there'd be no need to rip out the gas plant.

Wonder if they're hoping the ZEBRA bids in both Stockton and Newcastle will sort it out, 40+ buses in Stockton is a fair few and there's going to be the remaining 64 Plate Enviro's down there going free which on paper should sort it out.

Obviously whether they can last that long is another question mind.

Interesting that the Euro 5 gas buses will remain, whilst the younger Euro 6 ones are disposed of.

Presumably the loss of the 317 (PVR -5), partly offset by the PVR increase of the 35 (PVR +1), will allow the withdrawal of further 39xxx series E200s.
