Yes, still at Sunderland (where I believe they will remain for service 12).

Cheers Dan for info. By the way have you seen are 22's in south shields looking clean freshly painted could be that we might lose to off them when we get are two new Single deck Buses. Thanks once again for info any word about 33101 still in service at Hartlepool. Regards Robin

Was gutted when it seemingly wasn't out on my trip to Hartlepool earlier this week - got 22731 which was the other one I wanted though!

Even though it is being held in reserve, 22190's tax has been renewed for another year. I wonder whether this vehicle, along with 22675, could be joining 22735 as an active reserve, or as rumoured could be converted into a Driver Trainer. We'll just have to wait an see.

You can get refunds on tax so I wouldn't use this as a basis for withdrawal. Better to concentrate on the MOT dates, as this will be used - when buses are out of MOT then they're unlikely to re-test them when others are available. Of course some will be staying until next year so they're likely to keep the best condition ones out of the whole fleet and concentrate them at Stockton (as it appears they will be the only ones left with non-DDA MAN's this year).

For all the locals down there has 33101 been out on road or not? What it says on cards doesn't always mean it's always followed regards RES.

Appreciate I'm not a 'local' - could be wrong but I don't think we have any Hartlepool locals on here... Unless they're quiet.
The lack of photos of it online since transfer to Hartlepool paired with the fact it seemingly wasn't out when I went to Hartlepool earlier this week, I'm guessing it hasn't been out much.

33101 tends to be found on services 3/4 mainly in Hartlepool, although last time I remember seeing it was last Saturday on Seaton Carew front having come in from Middlesbrough on the service 1. Not been out much this week so couldn't tell you if it's been on the road or not

Cheers for that

It's not a problem. I'm out and about tomorrow so I'll keep an eye out for it to see if its on the road or look see if its parked in the depot if I pass that way

Thanks for info. goodnight Regards Robin
