(16 Jul 2016, 5:51 pm)NK53 TKT Unusually when I went to Farnborough today for the Airshow the shuttle came in the form on S806 BWC (16006) which I believe was on loan to Stagecoach Hampshire, odd to have part of the Stockton trident batch in Hampshire, at least I won't want to go on one now!
They are very powerful buses

(16 Jul 2016, 6:01 pm)Kuyoyo 17006 has never been a Stockton vehicle. It was a Devon bus from 2003 until the Wigan purchase in late 2012 when it went to Manchester and then returned to Plymouth late last year.

22508-15 are likely to replace 22015-20.
Stockton are to gain a few e400s from Newcastle aswell for peak services.

(17 Jul 2016, 10:36 am)biglugs@yahoo.com Not sure on 16834-36 but 17025-29,32 can be used on the 510 but i don't think stagecoach would want to allocate the olympians.
Also walkergate always provide a e400 alike 19385 last year and 19430 the year before that.

17025 the last Stagecoach vehicle into Guisborough
Wasn't quite sure where to out this but it involved a stagecoach driver and bus.
I was overtaking a parked bus (gas bus newest in Fleet at Sunderland) and he pulled out causing me to brake heavily and had to take action to avoid been squashed.
When the driver pulled up at the wheatsheaf he apologised to me and said it was due to angle of bus and he didn't see me in his mirrors.
I certainly give him credit for apologising which I have accepted.
As well as cycling I drive a long wheel based van to in my job. I would say in my mirrors and road position after viewing my helmet camera footage I would of seen myself in my blind spot mirror.
Why don't buses have these and tiny mirrors? It's a danger to other road users. I mean the amount of time when driving buses have just pulled out on me within a second of putting there indicator on pulling out on me. Don't mind so much when I have a bit metal to protect me!
