I have some service/allocation suggestions for Stagecoach:
21 E400MMCs are coming for Slatyford/Walkergate for services 62/63. This can replace 19141-19156 at Slatyford with the other buses being replaced are 19194, 19196, 19197, 19439, 19647, 19670 and 19671. This means that 22408-22412 can be replaced by 19197, 19439, 19647, 19670 and 19671. 22408-22412 can replace 22462, 22674, 22675, 22210 and 21037 in Driver Training. 19194 and 19196 would replace 16834 and 16836. 19141-19146 would replace 17025-17029 and 17032 at Stockton. 19147-19151 would be converted to open top to replace the CitySightseeing olympians. 19152-19156 would replace 22021-22025 at Slatyford with them going to driver training allowing extra capacity on X77, X78, X79, X82, X87 and X88.
17 E200MMCs are coming to Slatyford. This would allow for 35163, 35172, 35173, 35188-35195, 39702-39705, 397715-39717 to be withdrawn. This means that 39717 could replace 34401 at South Shields, 39716 would replace 34550 at Hartlepool, 39715 would replace 34561 at Stockton. 34562 would be replaced at Sunderland by 39705. 34563 and 34564 would be replaced by 39703 and 39704 at Hartlepool. 39702, 35194 and 35195 would go to Sunderland to replace 34565, 34567 and 34605. 35193 would replace 34611 at South Shields. All the other darts would either be reserve vehicles at Slatyford, South Shields, Sunderland, Stockton and Hartlepool or would go to another region. 
10 E300s could come for Slatyford for services 6/7/8 which could be branded connect the dots meaning that 39718-39720 and 22021-22027 could be replaced. 22021-22027 could be withdrawn and 39718-39720 could move to Walkergate as spares for the 15/15A.

Where will the 10 E300s which are moving to the 6/7/8 come from?
I felt last year they should've got a batch brand new for that route, Though Quality Contracts was still in the pipeline then.

It's 24 E400MMCs not 21. Stockton's deckers are being withdrawn without replacement however there are rumours that Stockton are to get some of the displaced E400s from Newcastle. 22408-413 are newer than the oldest MAN/ALX300s so why would you convert them to training vehicles. Of those vehicles you've listed in the training fleet - 21037 is now replaced and preserved and all the MANs are either awaiting disposal or already in the scrapyard.
18 E200MMCs of the 11.8M length are heading for Slatyford. That would mean MAN/ALX300s replaced not Darts and MANViros. 34561 is now back at Hartlepool anyway.
The E300 is no longer available and how can you replace 5 MANs with both this fictional batch of E300s and E400s.

And yet again, this is the 'Service Suggestions' thread. Do we not have an 'order predictions' thread for Stagecoach for this sort of thing

Are you confusing 'service' with 'route' perhaps?

As I read the situation, NK53 TKT is keeping on topic by discussing which vehicles Stagecoach use to provide service to their passengers.

There are at least two uses of the word 'service' in our hobby. One is the registered routes a company runs and another is their customer-facing operation as a whole.

If that's the case then fair enough. I've never seen anything on this thread to say that it's intended only for discussion of registered services/routes. Maybe that's where confusion can occur.

Think Stagecoach should have a 22A and have it running to Hadrian Park every 20 minutes instead of all of them going to Cobalt as not many people use it outside of peak times. Or even just have it terminating at Wallsend every 20 minutes as passenger numbers aren't that great beyond Wallsend.

Even at peak times, I find it's touch and go. Most tend to opt for the first bus that turns up - regardless of whether that's Arriva, Go North East or Stagecoach. Only those with tickets loyal to one operator stick to that respective operator.

Yeah and it's not the most reliable service - often have 3 turning up together now on an afternoon from Newcastle. A lot of people from Howdon/Rosehill have a GNE weekly ticket too probably because you can use it on any service around Wallsend (17, 40, 80 etc.), and the 1 is a lot more reliable than the 22. I can't see it lasting much longer at every 10 minutes.

(02 May 2016, 6:06 pm)Dan Even at peak times, I find it's touch and go. Most tend to opt for the first bus that turns up - regardless of whether that's Arriva, Go North East or Stagecoach. Only those with tickets loyal to one operator stick to that respective operator.

Yeah and it's not the most reliable service - often have 3 turning up together now on an afternoon from Newcastle. A lot of people from Howdon/Rosehill have a GNE weekly ticket too probably because you can use it on any service around Wallsend (17, 40, 80 etc.), and the 1 is a lot more reliable than the 22. I can't see it lasting much longer at every 10 minutes.

I think on a Sunday and on a night the service 36 should be shared with hartlepool and Stockton Hartlepool could run E200 on a night and Sunday

Hartlepool depot is shut most evenings (while there are two buses out on the 7 Sunday to Thursday, they effectively fall under Stockton depot control). Sunday daytimes, the 36 interworks with the 37 and 38.

Should also point out that only one working on the 36 that terminates in Hartlepool - which reaches Hartlepool at 1932 and leaves at 1946 (one of the last to the Marina).

So does this mean stockton use e300s on the 7?

No, Hartlepool drivers and Hartlepool vehicles work the 7 at all times. On Sunday to Thursday nights, they are the only vehicles out so the backroom support is provided by Stockton's backroom staff (ie Stockton's Backshift Spare Driver also acts as Hartlepool's spare on those nights) to keep costs at a minimum.
