Stagecarriage of Grangetown

RBZ 5459 · 22 Jul 2019, 2:50 pm,

There's been further confirmation this afternoon from Stockton Borough Council that the company has indeed ceased trading, as of today. Seems they've basically ran today getting peoples hopes up from what has been heard on the street..... Company has gone and the council inquiring with other bus ops for the slim chance of services being retained.

The X8 was supported by Teesside Park.

Vast majority of the fleet has been sold on through various companies like Proctors Bus & Coach Sales, ones I'm aware of so far:

A&A Coach Travel have YN03DFP

Connexionsbuses snapped up quite a few of the OmniDekka's - YU52XVN, YN03DFL, YV03PZW & YN03DFC

Dart KE04UMD now preserved down in Shropshire

YJ56JYA advertised for sale on Proctor's Bus & Coach Sales site (repainted white)

Centro YJ57BCU now with Centrebus as their 743

Citaro BN12EOX now with High Peak for Skyline service 199

Well good to know they not gone to waste then. Wonder if another independent might try on Teesside again in time

Didn't realise UMD had been preserved!

Is the x7/x8 ever coming back

MurdnunoC · 25 Jul 2022, 5:39 pm,

Whatever happened to Stagecarriage? A respectable local operator, by all accounts, with none of baggage one might associate with an independent.

The last message on this thread literally says Stagecarriage closed down so I wouldn't get your hopes up for it coming back.
