Very likely to return to Walkergate this weekend with the new academic year kicking off next week, meaning that service 1 returns to full PVR - plus service changes come into action on Sunday.

It may well be needed back for tomorrow to boost numbers on Metro Replacement.

Returned last night.

Havent seen 39666 for a while

Seen it in Boldon, how come it’s got no downstairs windows?

Seems to be how Stagecoach do their repaints - re-fit windows when they get back to the home depot, as opposed to just covering them up.

It was already in a Coperate SC livery

Seeing as it hasn't been repainted for ten years, it needs to be smartened up.

Anyone know what the 'ND10' and 'GD15' services requiring ADL E400s at Slatyford are on the P3 fleetcard?

The new Nexus Misc Works contracts Stagecoach were awarded.

That is the board number.

Saw what looked like an Alx300 in Driver Training livery being given a lift by a breaker this morning.
Just at the bottom of John Reid Road, heading away from Shields. 
Too far away to Id properly.

22424 has landed and is parked around the back of Sunderland depot for service prep. One of two to be heading to the Newcastle depots aiding to recent PVR changes.

Are they replacing anything?

No, PVR has increased.

Does the board number cover more than one service?  They won four AM and four PM runs - but only two boards?

What type of vehicle is 22424

(07 Sep 2018, 8:23 am)V514DFT wrote What type of vehicle is 22424

Its a MAN 18.220 / ALX300 (YN07 KPR)

(07 Sep 2018, 8:23 am)V514DFT wrote What type of vehicle is 22424

22424 is one of the 30 Alexander Dennis ALX300-bodied MANs delivered to the Yorkshire division in 2007 - unlike the rest of the ALX300s, these are 18.240s same as the E300-bodied examples (and 22508-15) which only delivered with ALX bodywork as the revised E300 styling wasn't completed at that stage. The majority of the 30 in Yorkshire are now withdrawn either awaiting disposal or further use within the group (a small amount are being used in a reserve capacity in Yorkshire).

Not 18.220, 18.240 - it's a Euro4 example.

My mistake, I never knew that 18.240's were ever made on an ALX300 bodywork, thanks for the info.

Fleercards haven't been updated yet, they're the old schools they picked up from Nightingales last term.

Blimey didnt think they were made up until 2007,prefer these MAN's better than the MAN's from 22508-22515 batch

Often does, yes.

GD09 for example, operates the AM 895 scholars and PM 110 and 841.

Newcastle and Stockton might aswell grab some to see off some 03/54 plate ALXs.

It was parked in Sunderland yesterday alongside 34605.

Is it staying at Sunderland or going somewhere else instead. I believe 19209 got sent back to Newcastle yesterday so we still have 19641-644. Are Shields getting anything in October. Robin

35189 has always been at Sunderland...
Are you not referring to 35188?

19209 went back to Newcastle a week ago
