Yeah cos it’s walkergates E200’s heading to Stockton as Slatyford need their E200’s for the 32/32A. 26291/293 came to Slatyford, Slatyford sent 27253/254 to Walkergate, Walkergate sent 37314/316 to Stockton and I’m guessing 37312/315 will be leaving Walkergate for Stockton, 26290/292 will go to Slatyford and 27251/252 will go to Walkergate.

That’s not CAZ compliant so won’t be for Newcastle services so could potentially be heading to Stockton.

Want happened to 26067 that went to stagecoach Stockton depot?

So what will Slatyford be gaining for their PVR increase? 

Since Walkergate have already gained 6 additional E400MMCs I was under the impression 3 were for the increased  PVR on the 1 and the other 3 would replace the E200s allowing Slatyford to gain 3 E200MMCs for the increase on the 30/31/36

Does anyone know what the white enviro is in Stockton's yard?

I’m not sure but with the extension to the X47 the new 49 and the increased service on 30/31/36 we definitely need more buses there’s no way we have enough

Could it not be that Walkergate, in addition to the extra 1 boards, regain 3 62/63 boards from Slatyford allowing Slatyford to have breathing room to have the staff for the extra work?

Huh. I thought it'd be going for scrap. It was in a right state when getting loaded onto the Alpha truck.

Didn’t think of that, yeah I believe Walkergate are getting some 62/63’s back including the early 5:45 one from chillingham road to killingworth. That will free up some buses for the X47 and 49.

I just passed a Stagecoach local livery Yutong heading north on the A19 at Thornaby. Guessing it's one of Sunderland's on delivery.

Cheers for that.  Is it for service or spares?

I saw it too late to get one myself! I was on a coach going the other way!

There's a Yutong on the pits at Sunderland.
