(19 Mar 2023, 8:29 am)Rob44 I know SCNE might nave gidder fish to fry but they could remove the internal adverts for teeside when transfering buses to newcastle. I was on the 72 yesterday and a few punter were overheard say the adds on the bus had zero relevence to the area!Not really a big priority, buses literally came up and were thrown straight into service all that was done was the radios and destination blinds. These are now here for the foreseeable future so I’d imagine some time they’ll get the adverts changed but I can’t see that happening anytime soon when they’re struggling for buses and drivers.

(15 Mar 2023, 1:43 am)glen Are the alx 300 buses that Stockton getting now are there getting repaint in new colours or not?22409 has gone up to Sunderland for repaint so I can see the rest of the ALX300’s getting painted as well.
Anyone know why 27245 is at Sunderland? Been there since Monday after getting taken off an X82.

(25 Mar 2023, 3:31 am)glen Want happen to the ex Highland buses have enter service yet I am sorry if say before.It is my understanding they will enter service at end of the month when mot’s run out on man E200s that are being withdrawn
Have the ex Highland buses enter service yet I am sorry before.
(19 Mar 2023, 12:33 pm)Rob44 I agree with that, but if they are still there in a few months time then that a micky take.....even just for the companies that are paying to advertise in the area of teeside, not tynesideWell it’s nothing new really considering the majority of Hartlepool fleet is cascades they still have adverts for Tyne and Wear on some buses. There are stickers for Stagecoach in Sunderland and the Yorkshire darts that came up still have the box for metro newspaper but it’s very minor things and not really important.

(26 Mar 2023, 9:43 am)tyresmoke Not sure this is true… they’ve just retested two of them. 39663 & 39668 have just been through MOT in the last few weeks.It’s not all of them of course and it’s the shorter wheel base examples, not the 08 batch delivered new to Hartlepool.
