when this state 04 reg buses have disposal does that mean scrap

No - it means they're withdrawn awaiting sale.

Wouldn't bet against them ending up in Devon...

If the movement speculation regarding Hartlepool is correct, then with the arrival of 13 buses from other depots in the area, then a maximum of 4 04 plates are only going to be needed to stay there. (Thats assuming 22455 is still part of Hartlepools fleet.)

Yes, the latest Stagecoach North East Fleet Allocation shows MAN 18.220LF/Alexander ALX300 22455 (S455 OFT) and Dennis Dart SLF/Transbus Pointer 2 34401 (NK53 KFW) as in use at Hartlepool as reserve vehicles.

The Dennis Dart SLF vehicles which have recently undergone full repaint and internal refurbishment include 34565, 34567, 34568 and 34569.

Thanks for that. Just wasn't too sure as 34401 sees regular use I don't think 22455 has actually left the yard since it got here.

Thought them deckers at shields came from Dundee not Yorkshire traction. Have the transfers from shields to Sunderland took place yet

They were transferred to Yorkshire for the Tram replacement service in Sheffield. By the time they were finished with them, the new E400MMCs for service 73 had entered service so they just transferred them straight to the north east (i think!)

19641-7 moved from Dundee to Sheffield along with their sisters (bar 19653/6 which had moved prior to that) when the Volvo B5LH/Enviro400MMCs entered service on the Tayway in early June to cover the Tram Replacement work allowing the loaned vehicles to return home (ie Walkergate to get 19670 back). Naturally, they have become surplus to requirments in Sheffield (despite the length of the replacement route presently operating) along with sisters 19648-53 and have been released to their new homes (for the benefit of people's records - 19648-53 have gone to South East at Eastbourne).

As yet, apart from 35190-5 moving to Slatyford, no other moves have taken place from South Shields (and as such, Slatyford and Sunderland).

35190 has now moved to slaty ford Deport along with the rest . Regards Robin

Is that not what it states in the comment above. Doh
These forums are getting very repetitive.

Sorry for asking. Regards Robin

Sorry. Where you asking in your original post? Just it reads as if you were telling us

What I said was South Shields handed 35190 over today and have just seen a photo of it in service on the 32a. Regards Robin

I don't mean to be picky but you did not say 'today'. Would the bus go I to service the same day it was transferred. Also the person who posted prior to your post said that 35190 -35195 had all transferred to Slatyford. so one of you is or was incorrect with detail. Either premature or late with transfer details

Wrong.  39702 is now based at Slatyford, ex-South Shields.

Another Two are also going soon 39703,39704 to Slatyford. Regards Robin

I might as well list the movements now then shouldn't I:

39702-5 South Shields-Slatyford, replacing 35159-62 to Hartlepool
39706-9 South Shields-Sunderland, replacing 35155-8 to Hartlepool
39710-4 South Shields-Hartlepool

As yet, nothing is confirmed as to what 35155-62 and 39710-4 replace at Hartlepool as there's only 13 buses transferring in yet there's 15 Pointer Darts at Hartlepool (not including 34401 in reserve)
