It does seem like I'm wrong (rare occasion there) as I originally thought they were numbered 36961-81, rather than 36960-36980. So only left to arrive.

(24 Oct 2013, 11:35 am)Richard Smiles Hi Michael,

Yes probably, though there could be a few in the Garage/Paint Shop out of sight.

Preparing the vehicles for service essentially means applying The Fleet Numbers, the Fleet Names (i.e Stagecoach in Sunderland), Legal lettering, fitting the Ticket Machine & Cash Tray & if not already fitted the cctv.

I have attached a copy of my own created Fleet List for you.
Regards Richard

Cheer's wasnt sure,even though ive being a few times and live in Sunderland i should of known that

Good to see the Sunderland ALX200 Darts still out and about in their final days.

33829 was on the 10/11 alongside the new 63 reg ADL Enviro 200s, 33101 was on the 19 and 33484 was either on the 23 or 19 as well (saw it heading towards Roker Avenue but did not see the front display).

I would have thought that 33101, 33484 and 33289 would have been withdrawn before the pointer 2 darts were displaced to Newcastle . I suppose there will be a technical reason as to why some of the Pointer 2 darts have been withdrawn at Sunderland before the 3 Alx200 examples Smile.

As there is currently 22 ALX200 darts in service and 21 new Enviro 200s arrived i think:
34608/9 will end up at Hartlepool replacing 2 of 33486/88/97 leaving 1 remaining ALX200 dart there.
34610-15 at Walkergate replacing all their darts
Possibly 35155-35160/87/88/89 to Slatyford replacing all their darts
35190 to Shields to replace 33492
Leaving 35161/2/3/72/3 at Sunderland so that 33101/484/829 can be withdrawn.

Being too logical there I think - this is SNE after all! 34615 has turned up at Slatyford, operating the 7 today...

Stagecoach are more logical than Arriva are to be fair.

Also, I doubt South Shields will be recieving a Dart in this move - officially 33492 (like 33484/829 at Sunderland, and 33486/91 at Hartlepool) is a reserve vehicle so should in theory be withdrawn without replacement.

They may be reserve vehicles but all see service daily. As for the amount or newer darts becoming available from Sunderland i cant see them withdrawing them yet just to keep 'reserve' darts in front line service.

I thought Hartlepool only had one ALX200 for service (33488).

I think 34608 would end up in Hartlepool.

34609 to 34614 at Walkergate

34615 at Slatyford.

Apparently 35190 maybe replacing a MAN 18:220 to somewhere.

They do officially only have 33488, 33486/91 are in reserve. Likewise with 33492 at South Shields.

And indeed, I've heard mention South Shields are due one Pointer to release one MAN AX300 to Slatyford as Shields have more full size Single Deckers than required, hence why 21156 has reportedly spent most of this week in the depot.
