(25 Mar 2014, 5:55 pm)Acky81 If I lived on Teesside I'd be foaming 15-16 year old buses as replacement not ideal. I won't miss them from Sunderland. Breakdowns and the most annoying thing you can't hardly see the destination blinds on evenings

(25 Mar 2014, 5:58 pm)Kuyoyo They are only a temporary move - they will be replaced later in the year by the new vehicles and (only rumoured at present) newer cascades from other depots.
By the end of the year, what remains of the non-DDA MANs will still be at the current 3 depots (Stockton, Sunderland and Slatyford) but in smaller numbers than now.

(25 Mar 2014, 9:16 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Makes it even more bizarre for them to have sent 22463/64 down to Teesside then back to Sunderland again. When it appeared to be to keep the 227xx series together it at least made a little sense, but are 22467/87 really that different or more suited to Teesside that 22463/64?? It cant be a case of which are in better condition as all four are still in active service, just at different depots.

I have just heard that 33492 has gone to Teesside on loan to cover 33488 which is now loosing spare parts as we speak. Regards Robin
