Also it’s believed Stagecoach don’t have any agreement with Newcastle City Council regarding the non compliant buses in the clean air zone and will most likely get a big fine once all buses have been replaced. Surprised they haven’t had them all changed sooner.
If I’m correct it should be 27242

Cheers, my guess is for 24119 as it was on a service 7 to Metrocentre and has been changed mid route.
The MAN ALX300S are still coming down from Newcastle-Stockton right? If they are then practically all the 64/65 E300s will be gone YAY!!

Should be, 22408-413,22428,443&444 are the remaining ALX300’s that will be heading that way. 22443 has been off road for a while unsure if you will get that or not. 22411’s gearbox went the other night I think it is getting repaired so should still go with the others. 22570,574,581,24117,119 are the remaining Enviro 300’s. 22581 broke down on 20th February and is now just sat at the back of slatyford depot unsure if that is now withdrawn.

Is this confirmed or just predictions. Surely the ex Highlands buses are going to withdraw something which I assume with the ALX300's and there's no need for 40 single Decker's at Slatyford either unless I'm missing something.

Just predictions based on them being all non compliant buses for CAZ. I don’t think Slatyford are getting all 271**’s and 272**’s some should be staying at Stockton but I think the highland buses are to allow a few extras to head north as Slatyford are definitely struggling for buses.

All the 272s are going with the majority of the 271 fleet

Thank you, was thinking they can't need that many up here. Guessing it'll be roughly the same number as the MMC's which were originally planned to come up here.
27244 is now at Slatyford unsure as to what’s gone south but I believe it may be 24119

Nothing here as of yet as I’ve not long been to the depot maybe it’s on its way down
22889 has now entered service at Stockton and is on the 12 board that does a multitude of services through the day - started on the early 61, then a few trips to Hardwick on 58s and a single 57 before taking up 12s at 9.57. On Wednesdays and Fridays this board is out until late on 12s and 38s until 2338 at the Parkway Centre.
12082 has just broke down in service in the middle of Shields road as of typing this. To make matters worse it is the crossroads (for Byker metro).
Unsure what the problem was as I was on a different bus.

Them hybrids are getting worse each day. According to bustimes 12068 and 12069 haven’t been seen since October. Anyone know what’s up with them?
Anyone know what buses are next for transfer and when we can expect it to happen?
27728 NK11 BFP is at Slatyford from Sunderland unsure if that’s temporary vehicle cover or permanent.

Might be a 278** or one of the other new slaty e300s
4 more E300 have go to Slatyford from Stockton depot according busestime today I think?

No no it's coz most of the Stockton routes have been taken from the route list and merged into Newcastles
