Sunningdale did a post on their Facebook about, what they'll be using it for.

As part of the school’s continued approach to Preparation for Life beyond the School and Preparation for Adulthood we have a new addition to our functional learning village. Just outside (‘outside outside’) our shop there will be a bus stop where we teach all of our pupils (regardless of age) how to wait for, board and ride a bus appropriately with their peers, families and, where appropriate, entirely independently. Our functional learning bus arrived on Friday. You can’t really miss it?!? A special thanks to Stagecoach in supporting us with this! It will be yet another asset in preparing our awesome pupils for their everyday lives and challenges!

Does anybody know when the electrics ordered for Stockport were meant to be delivered?

The first buses from the BZL order are expected to be delivered in summer 2024.

Ye, heard they should be arriving by end of the year, hopefully we hear more about them in the coming months....

I do wonder, if Stagecoach will use government funding to increase the E services back to every 20 mins each (7 mins combined)... as the PVR for the E's is only 10.

Edit:
Fleet numbers for Sunderland are: 73024-43

Probs be the same as Sunderland.

Thanks for info mate

Any ideas where NK60DOU is its not been seen since a week on Wednesday at Stockton

Annoyingly in my opinion, especially after the investment in the SC South operations over the last few years, especially in the Portsmouth and Chichester fleets Stagecoach south have been cascaded 6 E400 MMCs (i believe all 65 plate) from the Manchester area with (I think) 4 sent to the Portsmouth depot and 2 to the Chichester depot, they could have been pretty useful at slatyford depot in addressing vehicle shortages

That's the problem with having a 'company man' at the helm of SCNE.

I just don't understand why they are letting things get desperate

Seem to be really struggling with the gas plant now. Tuesday and yesterday there was no gasbuses on the late boards.
