January 2022

Is a double decker on the 87 rare? Don't recall seeing that before.

February 2022

Is 22411 a rare working on the 11? Seem to recall a mostly double decker operation on this service - though I stand to be corrected.

I hope there isn’t a match on in Newcastle today if Stagecoach are downgrading routes to single decks?

Funny you shoukd mention it, there is a match on tonight with potentially three new debutants playing. 

Should be a sell-out.

Im pretty sure there is a couple of decker boards but the rest of the allocation is made up of E300s

Yep weekdays it’s mostly E300s with deckers on the boards that interwork with scholars/X79.  Do tend to still get the odd ALX300 on there from time to time.  Sundays gets MMCs (used to be exclusively deckers for some reason, now more mixed).  Apart from Sundays I don’t think it’s been fully decker-operated for decades.

22065 out on the 22

26071 on X63

22348 has moved to Walkergate and is on the 12

Walkergate E400MMCs 11284/286/287/296, 11501/503 are currently shuttling to and fro between Cheltenham Racecourse and Railway Station (!)

... and it was on 22 today. Saw it heading down Coast Road this morning on the way to Cobalt to pick up the service. Wonder if Walkergate are using it as a type trainer as they probably need a few more saloons for the 317 ?

Apparently the 317 is being allocated ALX300

I think the 317 will be allocated cleaner engines euro 5 or 6 so I think probably more enviro 300

Some MAN 18.220 Alexander ALX300 are Euro5 apparently which shocked is

Them buses or starting to age now. Can't see them going on the 317. I thought it would be enviro 300 or 200.

22348 was out on the 22 today (18/3/22),as for the 317 comments,its hard to say as when ive seen drivers route learning its always been an E300

22065 out on the 22 today (29/3/22)

11289 is on the 317 tonight.

Slatyford's 10646 noted on service 1 a few minutes ago. Second unusual decker passing house today as I saw Stanley Travel's Gemini S3 STX earlier.
