(23 Jan 2017, 7:13 am)Dans_bus_photos wrote Sunderland's not going to loose 8 buses when the PVR is only reducing by 5. Id imagine if anything one of the MAN Enviro 200s might well replace 34605 as Sunderland's reserve.

Sunderland's PVR is actually reducing by three (six if you discount the new X24) - so would expect up to seven buses to depart.

19444. Gearbox decided it didn't want to be a gearbox anymore...

2 Branded E300's are currently VOR on the Pits at Shields, Which will explain for the increased appearance's of E200s on the E1/E2/E6 recently.

More more more with your X34 branded vehicles are having they frequency altered on the buses to reflect the new frequency of every 30 minutes

Do you know which one it was?, It can give us a clue which one's will be staying/leaving.

At least this means south shields will probably have 1 spare double decker

South Shields is keeping 4 E400 as a spare is required to help with the docking cycle

19642 still has branding every 20 minutes. I'm on it now reading it.

Have you looked at the back of the bus

(28 Jan 2017, 4:47 pm)Ds1197 wrote Have you looked at the back of the bus

Yes as I got off. So it is half correct. Every 30 mins at rear and every 20 mins at front

(28 Jan 2017, 5:07 pm)ifm001 wrote Yes as I got off. So it is half correct. Every 30 mins at rear and every 20 mins at front

The front might get done tomorrow. 19643 also has every 30 minutes at the rear now.

Anyone needs a pic, i'm on a omnilink, it's about to head towards Sunderland Hospital for Newcastle.

Currently only 4 of us on.


Edit:

Only went from Holmeside to the Hospital, ride was decent, seats are nice to sit on, the bus is longer than i thought.

Didn't get to try the WIFI and the plugs as i was on the phone.

May go out tomorrow as i'm off work.

Has there been any vehicle transfers yet as a result of the service changes in Sunderland and to South Shields service X34?

In addition, Leyland Olympian 14674 (H674 BNL) has been photographed inside the Tyneside Heritage Vehicles shed, having been sold to a private buyer.

Well 39709 and 39727 are both operating the 18s today, and 39729/30 are both over the pits at Sunderland- unsure on whether any of the others have left Sunderland yet.

Nothings happened at Shields yet I don't think, 34611 was still out on 17/18s today.

As posted on Facebook, 19645/6 have transferred to Walkergate.

Will that free anything from Walkergate to Slatyford ?

I wondered why I've just seen 19646 at Grey Street.

(30 Jan 2017, 10:08 pm)Kuyoyo wrote As posted on Facebook, 19645/6 have transferred to Walkergate.

19645 has been on 62/63. I've got it home.

Get rid of these onmilinks at Sunderland. How embarrassing a brand new service and 2 buses broken down already and it's only the second day. I knew the gas buses would end of up on the X24
