Has the route changed for the 11 to West Denton Shops? It was running further along Stamfordham Road in a different lane instead of the usual lane and turning onto Pooley Road.
12, 22, 39/40 appear to use the same buses. I don't know about the 38. Slatyford only allocates green buses to service 1 for some reason. Why are the buses with green interiors not getting repainted in the green livery? I think it looks ridiculous personally, mismatched blue exterior/green interior.

(26 Feb 2019, 10:46 am)neilwatson 12061-86 used to be green but they have or will be getting repainted. I agree with your comment. It does look mismatched especially as some of them used to or still have a green panel on the top.

Stagecoach are planning on moving services E1, E2, E6 & X34 to Sunderland Depot, as per below article:

It would be great to have Gas Buses on the E's & double decker's on the X24.

(27 Feb 2019, 6:19 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Was going to say it didn't make any sense for the X34s but surprisingly there's not much change in dead mileage between Horsley Hill - Wheatsheaf compared to Horsley Hill - Dean Road. Even less difference from the Newcastle end. Both are a bit longer though so presumably this is about creative accounting to balance books, rather than genuine cost savings.
