Can Double Deckers be used on the full X8 journeys from James Cook Hospital to Stillington?

Cock Robin · 15 Oct 2018, 2:51 pm,

Yes they certainly can. Several have been used (including the Neoplan once or twice back in the day!).

A coach on long X8s today!

Anyone seen the X8 branded Citaro on the X8 recently? Is it back from maintenance?

It's still off the road at the moment, I had it out on a test run before Christmas but it's still not ready.

SnarledComic1 · 03 Jan 2019, 1:45 pm,

Is it also the same story with the VAMOOZ Omnidekka? Haven’t seen that in ages either.

Cock Robin · 05 Jan 2019, 2:25 pm,

Yes I understand that is off the road. And the Solo. The open top Bristol VR has been sold.

New Teeside Links? I take it this will NOT go into North Tees Hospital?

Cock Robin · 10 Jan 2019, 4:39 pm,

Should be an X8 change as well.

**tyresmoke** · 10 Jan 2019, 5:24 pm,

X7 will be hourly Middlesbrough - Low Grange via Teesside Park, Stockton, Norton and Billingham before doing a loop of Low Grange. The X7S is the school time variation with the diversion via Mill Lane and extended to Northfield School (current 986).

There’s no change to the current hourly X8 between Middlesbrough and Stillington other than a few minutes in the afternoon peak to give some journeys extra time. The James Cook extension hasn’t proved a success so this is being cut along with service 6. It should hopefully make our services a lot stronger as we’ve had loads of requests for a direct bus to Teesside Park from Norton & Billingham!

SnarledComic1 · 10 Jan 2019, 6:03 pm,

I wonder how much competition there will be between the X7 and the Stagecoach 34/36/52. But really looking forward to going to Teesside Park straight from home rather than having to change for the X8!

Shame about James Cook. The council still hadn't removed 'no services' from some of the bus stop plates. I told them.

Not sure if this was post but this was post on the Stagecarriage facebook page:

Welcome to Bus4, your new public transport provider across the Tees Valley area!

It’ll still be the same great service operated by the same team from Stagecarriage that you’ve always known. We will continue to invest in the fleet with a brand new livery to be introduced shortly!

The new identity is launching from mid February and we’re giving you a brand new service X7 linking Billingham, Norton, Stockton, Teesside Park and Middlesbrough - bringing you extra direct links to Teesside Park alongside the existing popular X8 buses!

Please follow this page for updates as we progressively move over to the new brand!

TezzaPaul · 16 Jan 2019, 9:16 pm,

Will Stagecarriage become Bus4 or are they two different brands?

Seeing as Stagecarriage is no longer mentioned on their page, it would appear that they are now called bus4.

Cock Robin · 16 Jan 2019, 11:01 pm,

Suppose it prevents any confusion with Stagecoach.

**tyresmoke** · 17 Jan 2019, 6:13 pm,

Yes we’re rebranding to bring a fresh new look to our services with the buses to be repainted in the new livery as cost and availability allows. Centro 17 and Scania 26 have been running around in the base liveries for a while now as we worked on the rebrand so didn’t receive old logos.
It will be properly launched with the new X7 and X8 timetables starting on 18th February.
