If you look on Newcastle City Council's website they claim it is active now, but charges only apply to vehicles after 30th January 2023.

The signs and cameras are up. Signs as you cross the Tyne Bridge, and there's a camera when you turn onto the bottom of Pilgrim Street.

Manchester as a whole is going the way of london where gradually everything is controlled by a local authority PTE so some routes may be retendered

No stripes or diagonal lines on the Manchester vehicles.
We all know what that means! A ten percent pile-on incoming!
Whereas Liverpool... Well they're gonna love that. It has stripes on.

I wonder if these will see off the ALX300s rather than sending them to Teesside?
The alx 300 should be withdrawn when new buses come Newcastle I think?
In regards to X34 return to South shields I think the 4 original “SP60” E400s are transferring back over so there is no disruption to scholars services currently served by the 2 ex Newcastle examples

I don't think they're Euro 6, tho they could be.

Doubt it, the ALX300 routes don't need Decker's nor do any of the single decker routes in Newcastle.
Imagine they will leave the region to replace ALX400's elsewhere.

i can understand Newcastle and Manchester, i know Portsmouth has a CAZ coming as well but Portsmouth, Winchester and Chichester have had a decent few deliveries over the past decade,
for example, 2012,2014 and 2019 i think double decker wise, they replaced a lot of older tridents with various batches of the ex-Newcastle (56 plate I believe) E400 tridents, some 07 ex Newcastle E400s, and a few 08 ex Manchester E400s.
oxford again I am surprised as they had a rather young fleet and i think they have had deliveries recently as some of their 2010 hybrids recently transferred to Manchester.
i can understand Northampton as they have I think around 20 04 plate tridents which are still going strong. although i would have used cascades from Manchester and maybe Newcastle to oust the tridents as 200 buses between 12 areas isn't going to stretch far. probably around 16 or 17 buses each if there's an equal distribution

not sure if I’m honest but if Stocktons MMC batch go up to Newcastle maybe they’ll send the rest of the ALX300 and possibly a few man E300s like the 09 platers or these new Cumbria ones to go with the alx300

What's Teesside going to get in place of their 200MMCs that're coming up then?
I think getting new buses I? At Stockton depot that why E200 mmc going to Newcastle I? If I am right

I was under the impression Newcastle are getting Stockton's MMCs for the CAZ, and Newcastle was sending their ALX300s to replace them.
Why didn't they go Newcastle in first place? Why now
