36461-Dots.

364** have been appearing loads on the Dots recently whilst Dots buses are on the 10/11/30. Haven't got a clue why as have the unbranded 373**s

That's two days in a row for a MMC on the X63 and a Hybrid on the 38. I heard a 1921* was on the 40 earlier

10/11 and 30 are suffering with timekeeping due to the major roadworks on the Hoggeston Roundabout (A194) on the approach to Low Simonside from both directions so no doubt the rare buses on service quite regular now will be to help keep services on time on departure from main points.

I forgot to mention 34611 on the 3/4/7/8 the other day

Three days in a row for X63 MMC. 10638 was on today. I thought Walkergate had 631-37. 36469 on E's

The South Tyneside sightseeing bus was on the Newcastle tour today somewhat randomly.

The Newcastle ones have started to be withdrawn, so I'm guessing they were short!

I thought so too. I'm not sure but Walker and Slatyford MMCs could swap depots depending on where they're terminating

Didn't even cross my mind. 

Would the South Shields shuttle one have the Newcastle audio guide programmed? No idea how it works

Both the Hybrid and MMC were out covering on the 1. 
Walkergate currently also have the use of 22024.

The South Shields Shuttle has been gone for quite a while now, A year or two atleast.
Since then its just been running the Newcastle Sightseers in Shields branding.

And the South Tyneside Sightseeing (the Bede's World etc service) has been gone at least 5 years I think.

Darts on 62 but it was too far away to clock the fleet number.

Also now that the 62/63 have got MMC's how long will it be before Enviro 400's get counted as odd.
RE: Stagecoach North East: Rare & Odd Workings - October 2016
39703 on 100. Not sure if anything is wrong with 27509 it was stood at the 60s bus stop at old eldon square

22048 on 62/63
RE: Stagecoach North East: Rare & Odd Workings - October 2016
Who thought putting 37317 on the Es was a good idea. It was jam packed and just about got every one on. Plus it was full of OAPs stating how they liked the new buses on the route
