New in at Hartlepool is a ADL E200MMC, didn't receive a fleet number as it's parked in the depot.

Are stagecoach in Heartpool getting new buses.

Hi saw stagecoach on teesside E300 24? on left side the the buses look different at back side window on left.

Is the 62 and 63 standalone now?

Most of the time, yes.
Only time they interwork (as far as I know) is the morning peak.

When did they stop interworking

Not sure

Seems like that could be why they run so bad at the moment,in my personal opinion they worked better when they interworked,but all i know is that it needs looking into,and pretty soon,maybe re-introduce the 61 or 64 to relieve some pressure off the 62 and 63

When did Stagecoach in Newcastle start using the new displays? I must say, I like them. They show two via points at once and look clearer. The route numbers look to be in a different font.

17645 now branded for The Seasider

Could the reason the Zone branded E300s are currently being repainted indicate they are for the 36/37/38?

Is it true that Stockton deputy are getting new bus in the summer

Well BN E300s aren’t a thing, they could mean MMC 200s or cascaded E300s from some where, only time will tell.

Unless ADL have an E300MMC in the pipeline which as of yet has not been announced however I would think it is E200MMC's.

You obviously dont read the 500 Group Newsletter.

I'm not part of The 500 Group so don't receive the newsletter - can you elaborate?

It saying Stockton getting new E200s now to replace the Alex 300 buses I don't know what to believe it new E300 or E200s or second hand E300.

Stagecoach orders have yet to be publicly announced but since it has come out of the bag one way or another... Stockton is getting new E200MMC at the back end of the summer for 36/37/38. Repaints of the E300 is significant for transfer, but nothing can be really said on that publicly as recipients are not fully in the know I believe. That is all that is on order for the NE.

Thanks for info mate

Where do they change drivers on the 100?

Usually at Metrocentre whenever I've seen them.

Looks like the back of 10631 doesnt like the updated display

Think Stagecoach are making a mistake with the Seasider by not having it run to Whitley Bay Caravan Park, and even if the Caravan Park doesn't let them in, they can still use the stops outside and turn around at the roundabout at Old Hartley, additionally they could extend it towards the Royal Quays and the Marina too since the new link road has opened up between the Ferry and North Shields.

Trident 17702 arrived yesterday to join the Newcastle fleet from Glenrothes.
