There were certainly standees the second time I seen the 87 go out. I hadn't seen Kuyoyo's post until I was on the bus back up to Sunderland though.

Impressive!
Hopefully if Stagecarriage is used to host an enthusiasts' trip again, a ride on that can be arranged.

What do Stagecarriage usually allocate to the 87?
(18 Feb 2015, 10:14 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote [ -> ]What do Stagecarriage usually allocate to the 87?
Either Vairo DE04XEZ or Solo KX04HRJ usually.
Vairo often appears on Wednesdays and Fridays when KX04HRJ is needed on the 88.
Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: KX04HRJ
Wednesday/Friday: DE04XEZ or R556LGH, also cover when KX04HRJ is unavailable (due to the corner at the end of Albany Bridge, only short wheelbase vehicles can manage it so the 2 B10BLEs can't work the 87)
Following the unfortunate news that local operator Leven Valley Coaches will cease trading after Friday 20th March, Stagecarriage are stepping in to replace parts of their network that would otherwise leave large parts of Teesside without a service
Existing Services 455/456, 492, 45 and 84 have been hopefully secured for operation from Saturday 21st March, albeit with minor timetable revisions.
Keep yourself up to date by following us here on Facebook, More details soon!....

Glad to see someone else stepping in, lets hope these new routes don't put pressure on their current routes they run.
Does that mean all the area's which Leven Valley used to serve, are now covered once again?
Still Stainton and parts of marton

Cheers, lets hope the area's get a service again.
Teesside Park also looks like it won't have a direct bus service after next week yet.
