Steven Knight Media reported a while back that service X34 could possibly be moving to Walkergate Depot? If this does happen hopefully there will be more buses from Newcastle later in the evening, and Stagecoach would no-longer need to issue an apology on twitter for a single decker being used as there should be more chance of a spare decker being available here in the event of a mechanical failure or severe delay.

I wonder if the vehicle allocation will also change - some gas buses appearing on the E's with some of the ADL E300s appearing on other Sunderland routes? Hopefully this will mean that Sunderland depot could get more gas-powered buses in the future?
