11157 now at Carlisle Willowholme depot - a collection of photos here..

And at some point the E300s 27141 and 27142 will be repainted back into standard livery.

(30 Dec 2018, 4:10 pm)RBZ 5459 wrote Difficult to say is normal since they got further ADL ones. On paper anything works anything at Hartlepool now, everything is "Enviro200" on paper rather than ADL/MAN Enviro200. Photos I've seen reflect that too.

My experience is very mixed on the 1, no idea if there's a pattern to it but certainly both types turn up.

Will these feature USBs and wifi. Means all services would have USBs and wifi if arriva can keep these on more often

Yes.

(03 Jan 2019, 6:17 pm)RBZ 5459 wrote Yes.

Brilliant, the E200 are a nice ride but the chargers would rather make me wait for arriva

35189 seriously needs some work done, the cab door doesn't lock correctly meaning the cab door has opened whilst in motion. Also drivers try not to accelerate on this as the slightest acceleration beyond 20 it squeals. This has got to be the worst bus in the depot. And we still have 34605 out on the 8 today.

22444 is currently on loan to Stockton.

Indeed, although it was doing a 39 this morning - providing extra cover overall anyhow.

Hi is it this year when stagecoach on teesside buses 27157 to 27181 get repainted. Do the buses get repainted every 5 years.

22514 is now the route learner Stockton depot, replacing 22026 which is now back on fleet.
Disposal 22047 which was parked up at Stockton is now Slatyford and to be used by engineering for parts.

22444 gone back apparently.

very pleased I got a photo of 22444 in Middlesbrough bus station on Wednesday!

It was supposed to get a engine refit then transfer allowing 39715 to come the other way but it seems to not have happened yet.

I got one of it parked spare in the middle Wed. Tues I didn't realise til I played back my video it was also parked in the middle the full hour I was there!

Why is it on loan is it because some buses are off road at Stockton depot. That won't I might to say.

I think it likely went on-loan to ensure Stockton had enough vehicles to cover with the Arriva Strike and to ensure service cancellations remained at a minimum.

Thanks for info mate

As far as I know they didn't run anything extra though?

Indeed not, it was just sat around for any late runnings I believe on standby.

It appears South Shields Depot have had quite a few intruders lately:

39722 was pictured on the 1st January with Graffiti all down the site of it:

Would be nice to see them brand a bus up for this, similar to Carlisle's 37107

Ahhhh come on why put this nasty piece of scrap on the 62/63,22511,really,i rather have a AXL300

Does the X20 interwork with anything or is it just a case of extra buses on there to combat any late running?
