It was replaced when 39710 returned to service earlier this month

As mentioned in the incidents thread, 27181 was involved in an RTC while operating a 37 this afternoon. Taxi pulled out in front of it.

That explains it thanks

Seems to have not been noted, but the final E400MMC has now entered service at Slatyford. This being 10646 SN66WKB.

This example was also used at Quorum Green Transport Event event last Wednesday, ANE also sent a 308 Gemini.

Route One have published an article about the E400MMC launch at Quorum.

17643 has also returned from having it's roof conversion, the dome and first two windows remain covered, currently sat at Stockton.
Unlike (most) other OT ALX400s in group, it hasn't had a small window added to extend the roof to cover the entirety of staircase which is a shame.

Thank you for info.

In future, it may be worth scanning through our news page (http://northeastbuses.co.uk/NEB/news/ind...erator=SNE) to see if there's any information there, before asking the question on here.

Some members of the forum have made complaints about the same questions being repeated all of the time - I'm sure you can understand their frustration. 

Short-wheelbase and full-height Trident 17239 should now have arrived at Gardiners.

Slatyford have had numerous ones up for inspection over the past couple of months. 22515 has been sat on the back fences for a while, well it still was a couple of weeks ago - accompanied by two others on the pits. Still awaiting a decision on them if they're a goer as far as I know.

22515 out in service today at Slaytford on the 88.
22574, 22579 and 22581 transferring in from East Scotland to Slayford.

Interesting... It's just a guess but those E300s could possibly be for the 71, which has been an E200 route since Stagecoach got the evening contract which requires Euro 4 vehicles.

Might have to have a go on them, are they bad as people say?

Information From Steven Knight Media - Fleet News Ramblings:
The three MAN/Enviro 300s received from Stagecoach East Scotland (22574/79/81) are in the Reserve Fleet at Slatyford where they are being prepared for service. MAN/East Lancs Kinetic 22515 has been allocated to Slatyford. MAN/Enviro 200 39721 has transferred from Walkergate to Slatyford in exchange for MAN/ALX300 22346. MAN/Enviro 200 39710 has returned to service at Hartlepool ousting Dart SLF 34561 to the Reserve Fleet. MAN/ALX300 22023 has moved from Slatyford to the Reserve Fleet whilst Trident 17027 has been donated to Cleveland Police.

The rest of klnetics going to stockton I think.

I'm sure it's been decided that they are all going to Slatyford. Why seperate a small batch of vehicles accross depots, when vehicles with the same bodywork remain at the same depot to make it easier for spare parts. Stockton will get the cast off Alexander ALX300s.

The mans 22508'15 were replace old mans at Stockton some one say the only mans is 22026 has comefrom slatyford.

Plans can change though, like Gary said,

Heavy Loadings on Sunderland Illuminations Park & Ride 101 Service. Expect delays.

Hopefully they haven't relied on just two x 43 seaters for opening night...

Hopefully not but its not like they can just get more buses straight away, hopefully more have been deployed since most services have gone to their evening timetables

I'm sure south shields could lend a decker just for nights as all 6 were out recently plus the X34 decreases it's PVR after 1700
