They are 10.8m YX14RZG and MX14FUH - both ex-Ace Travel of Liverpool.

The 2 E200s entered service today, YX14RZG working the 87 while MX14FUH did the first day on the 84.



The rest of today's first day allocation were:

45: VAG608R
55: KX04HRL

Seemingly, as of today, the following will be the allocation:

45: B10BLE (presently VAG608R, VAG606R is said to be in the paintshop)
55/(56): Solo (56 is the Prior Pusglove College to Brotton service)
84: E200
87: Solo/Vario (depending on day of week)
88: Solo (Wednesday/Friday only)
271: E200

As posted on Stagecarriage's own page, further additions to the fleet in the form of Cummins ISB-engine Darts are due shortly.

Thanks for update.

Last 45 works off a 223,
17.10 55 works off a schools service aswell

Was a bit curious to the last weekday 45 journey as the timetable on Connect Tees Valley doesn't list that journey as using a low floor easy access bus.

Will try and update the fleet lists tonight but I'm awfully busy with coursework for the time being...

Last two days have seen an Enviro 200 on the 45

A change of plan - 45/84 are now both booked for E200s except for the last weekday 45 which is booked a decker off 223s, although tonight it's a little more supersize

The Neoplan has made it out onto the 45?! Crikey!

Making my way through the list of jobs I have to do tonight as I have a bit of spare time on a weekday (for a change!)

Yep

That would have made an interesting journey, that's for sure!

Think I'm going to try and ride the 1720 45 out of Boro at some point as it seems to chuck up some interesting workings.

Apparently the Neoplan will be attending the North East Bus & Coach Show at the MetroCentre this year (according to a comment I received from Stagecarriage's Flickr)

It should be in use at the 500 Group running day the week before too

I've never been on a Neoplan. I don't know the Middlesbrough/Stockton area too well to be honest, but the 45 seems quite an easy route to work around, a ride between Middlesbrough and Billingham on it then anything back from there would be a nice little adventure!

What's it's normal allocation out of interest (or is it just anything gets put on it)? If they ever have one of their Olympians on... Well...!

Apparently this run is normally booked as a double decker as it runs off the 223.

Yes, regularly an Olympian the last run. The rest of the day the 45's a B10BLE or Enviro 200. You can get a £4 Stagecarriage day ticket.

45 is now E200 worked as they are more fuel efficient compared to the B10BLEs hence why one of the pair is leaving the fleet very soon I understand as well as the Vario.

All depends on the day to day availability of the fleet. Now the other Solo is back on the road it gives them a bit more flexibility

16 (KX04 HRL) is in the dark red livery with the new Stagecarriage fleetnames.

Edit: just noticed that its already been reported - just thought that I'd post it as its "livery unknown" in the fleet list.

Well Olympian R274LGH is on it's way to Ensign now... Will find out what he brings back later!

Damn! I was consider photographing that one when it was parked in the Boro' layovers, but I didn't.
