Stockton Depot - Mike_98 - 27 Apr 2024
Tried looking for a thread for the stockton depot but couldn't find one so here we are.
Anyone know what is the SP SN (Spare Stockton Ticket machine) today on the 7?

Yep it was. Also seen 1454 has been de-branded on the door side. Unsure on the opposite side as I didn't get to look at the time. Buses are slowly being de-branded which I'm surprised they are doing, unless they are all going to be getting a Journey Mark upgrade in the future. There would be no point in removing the branding if that isn't the case. Would be a waste of time. Something must be planned in the coming months / year.

They're debranding ahead of the takeover.

Streetlite 1587 passed my house about half an hour ago, wonder if it's a loan?

I went on 1484 today on the 5 and it was soo bad. It did have full capacity to be fair, but it was soo sluggish. Went at crawling pace up Ormesby Bank. Surprised to see an Eco Plate perform that bad. Then again, it is 13 years old.

That one was slow when I was there 8/9 years ago
I followed Redcar’s 1449 up Yearby bank the other day and it managed about 12mph all the way, down to 8 at the top.

Must be one of the dodgy ones of the batch. Dunno why they would allocate it to the 5.
That's also surprising with 1449 as I was on it around a 2 months ago on the X4 and it tanked up the hills. Must have had some serious issues since then.
Edit: Funny thing is that it ain't in service today aswell.
RE: Stockton Depot - Mike_98 - 01 Nov 2024
Anyone know why the buses which are serving the 8 are all now tracking as S8 ??

RE: Stockton Depot - Ryland - 02 Nov 2024
8 is now tracking as s8 on bus tracker. Is this because of Darlington also having a service 8

Stockton hasn’t knackered it at all, it has been out a few times but not tracking as it self, 1554 has been tracking as 1454 the past few days & now it’s back to normal, 1430 could be getting checked out at Stockton doesn’t mean they have knackered it ?♂️
RE: Stockton Depot - Spottybus17 - 17 Nov 2024
1472 is back at Stockton tracking as 1470
