Unlikely, because they only just have enough for the 2/11/12 once 4809 is back in service.

I can't keep up with were those EcoCitys are going, last time I heard they were going on the 8/8A.

I imagine the forth working will end up being a Pulsar.

If nothing else, at least we know Arriva are decisive! Rolleyes

These buses have gone from the 21 to the 75/76, and now back to the 21/X21, even though there aren't enough buses (unless there are spares from the original batch) to cover the PVR?

On a related note, the 24 due into Park Lane before 1600 came into Park Lane at the same time as the 23, at about 16:05, carrying approximately eight passengers between them.
Highest amount of passengers I've seen today on both of these services when looking out of the window, on walkabout, or to and from town is eight passengers, was eight (six of which were pensioners, one was a student, and one looked to be an adult). Empty buses have been plentiful throughout the day, in and out of Sunderland... Have I made my point yet? Tongue

Before the 75/76 they were rumoured for the 8/8A.

There aren't any spares as they are needed for the town services.

Were first to go on the 21 then that changed and they were going on the 8/8a then they were going on 75/76 already refurbished ready for the MAX upgrade of that route next year. Now they are going back on the 21/X21.

Would the EcoCitys cope on there though... i haven't being on them before, how long is before they need to be re-gassed?

Well they are currently use the EcoCitys on the 21 on a Sunday although I'm not sure how they'd cope on the normal daytime service when there are more passengers and the buses would be out for longer than they are on a Sunday.

There is 1 vital thing we are missing about the gas buses coming to Sunderland... can anyone guess?

Extended by a week at the request of NYCC

The 21/X21 I believe is to be operated by the Ecocity gas vehicles, and Darlington's operation will have a PVR of 4 as it's an additional vehicle used going to Sunderland. Taking them out of Shotton will save about 10 mins I imagine.

Will passengers be able to get through tickets to Darlington or Sunderland or will there be a massive layover?

Will stagecoach allow them to fill up the eco's at their gas facility within wheatschef depot, i mean it would be additional payments on arriva's side

Do u think they could cope on the full route?

The new routes into Sunderland are interesting. Arriva testing the water a bit perhaps?

Add about 5 minutes for the 21/21A to go through Pennine drive and Passfield way since their won't be going straight to bus station from the A19

It would be an interesting scenario, having to time in a trip to the Wheatsheaf for a fuel stop but I reckon it's highly unlikely. They would probably have to mix the schedules up for them, for instance do a Sunderland run or two then some town work. This would keep them in service all day but ensure they don't run out.

That's correct as Arriva retained the contract earlier this year.

On VOSA today.

Arriva service change for service 24, is that the service will be going via Southway and Helford Road in Peterlee, which was missed off the original registration.
