Mentions that one of the two branded examples in use (believe 17645 is VOR at present) broke down and 17643 was on a private hire, hence the E400 making an appearance.

Last year an ALX 300 was on the CSS blue. 22067 if I remember correctly.
Yesterday 27245 on 12
39732 on 62, 10.51 from Killingworth
Update: Been swapped over with 22443
Note: one of the 59 boards weekdays runs light to Middlesbrough to do the 1918 and 1948 39s (compared to Saturdays were the 1918 39 is on a 39 board, and the 1948 trip is on the end of a 52 board that also does the 1830 37).
Services E1 & E2 are being operated by "Sunderland Bus" branded ADL E200s this morning.
I assume all ADL E300s must have gone back to South Shields depot at end of service last night and are getting moved today?

They all appear to be parked up in Sunderland along with the E400s now. 37143 was also parked up round the back so not sure if that may have transferred over too?
27734 is out on the Es but its the only E300 ive seen.

If 37143 has transferred over then I assume 37144 must have as well?
36094 is also on the E's today.

The buses transferred to Sunderland mid-morning, so native Sunderland E200 were on Economics and 30/X20.

27733/34/35 made it out. 27734 squeezed into service on one of the later economic boards soon after transfer, the other two went on for two E200 mid-afternoon.

3694 is also on the E's today.
37143 has not transferred over, perhaps was there for the chassis wash.
39715/16/17/18 are the transfers saloon wise.
36978, 39675, 39709, 39713 - Es

My friend seen it leave Hastings Hill not in service earlier
Knew it wouldn't take long for one to end up on a Sunderland Local

And according to a photo on the busesnortheast Facebook group, 28031 crept onto the E6 last night replacing 27736.
