Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2015
(23 Sep 2015, 7:52 am)Kuyoyo The 'Dotty' count has reached 8 - 27246/7 are now both in service on 59/61 and 58/35 respectively.
The better news is they've managed to allocate the Dotty ones to Dotty routes today - 4 are on 59/61 (27244/6/51/2), 27247 on 58/35 and 27242 on 52/35. No sign of 27241 but I've not seen all 6 59s yet.
EDIT: 27245 makes up the fifth 'Dotty' 59/61 (27164 being the sixth one and the all-nighter). 27241 is either therefore spare or on 52/35 as there's 3 unbranded examples on 'The Zone' and the 3 58/35s are odd workings.

(22 Sep 2015, 6:56 pm)Dan Why didn't Hanover fit a replacement display?Because it's more thank likely not warranty work so they don't need to replace it with a spare unit
The colour route number 144x19 LED destination on Go North East's "Angel" branded Volvo B5LH 6070 recently encountered an issue, so Hanover fitted a standard 144x19 display while the colour panel was being repaired.
I appreciate rear displays aren't as important, but I'd expect the display to be replaced temporarily all the same.

According to the latest Fleet Card, 22210/11/675 are covering the Slatyford vehicles that are getting new radios fitted; and 19194/6/7 are covering the Walkergate vehicles that are getting new radios fitted.
Will 19194/6/7/647 be replacing the non-DDA reserve MAN ALX300s, or will they eventually be replacing some, if not all, of Walkergate's 55-plate MAN ALX300s? They will only need one more ADL E400 to make Walkergate a fully Double Decker depot (excluding reserve vehicles) if 22341-5 are getting replaced.

(23 Sep 2015, 7:36 pm)Kuyoyo 19194/6/7/647 won't be replacing 22341-5. I do believe I heard something about them being allocated to replace the Walkegate-based non-DDA MANs.
