I suspect some of the new E300s are in Stockton depot or at least will be by next Monday. Stagecoach have said no-one can access the 500 Group's buses to go to Seaburn unless they are Stagecoach employees! They have also told someone who they supplied the reg. numbers to not to tell anybody else. What's the big deal?!!

when new buses come stagecoach on Teesside can someone take photo of them if can please. can't want to see them that all. if not see on road 1 Sep.

Nobody allowed into the depot. All will become clear in time I'm sure

As per last year, it appears they are being delivered on a night and being stored within the depot. As for them being on the road next week - forget that. I'm understanding it will be mid September before they enter service.

I'm sure some photos will emerge as soon as they enter service.

Must be someone with access to a car who can sit outside the depot all night to catch one turning up and see what the big deal is!

I personally don't understand why people can't just hold on until they've entered service.

Have just seen picture of 19194 back at Newcastle. Didn't take long to get it back where it belong. Regards Robin

It went a couple of days ago, 19196 and 19197 should follow it back to Newcastle soon.

Latest fleet changes can be found here by myself and Dan: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...p?tid=1555&page=18

Arriva are reporting traffic delays in the Middlesbrough area on their Facebook page, I'm guessing this could having an affect on Stagecoach services in the area.

19196 was noted at the bottom depot shields about mid morning possibly awaiting transfer to newcastle

22077 is on Claremont Road with an ill passenger on service 10

Sure 19196 and 97 are in services on X34 today alongside 19642

19643 has seen a few days use on X34 this week but not seen any of the others that have arrived at Shields depot ie 19 645.

Incidentally when the Leyland olympions with fire bumpers were new to Tyne and Wear PTE back in 1986 they were numbered 641-647 (C641 LFT etc) and allocated to South Shields so is nice to see 19641-19647 being allocated again. Brings back old memories. (648 And 649 were delivered to Economic at South Shields At the time)

664 certainly did

Yes it did  receive the electronic display eventuslly In the early 90s I believe shortly before economic received 675 and 676 which were delivered With the new electronic displays at the time. Loved travelling on both 675 and 676

Still no sign of 19644 yet. Regards Robin

Will the 5 new enviro 300 for stagecoach on teesside be enter service tomorrow or will there be waiting for all the rest to to come first.

No new buses will be entering service from Stockton depot tomorrow. At present, we don't know how many are actually here (we did spot one poking its back end out of the depot this afternoon upon the return from Seaburn).

In other news, Cwmbran Astromega 50235 was in Stockton depot this afternoon. Not sure how long it will be there for however.

Thank for that
