(05 Sep 2022, 9:49 pm)Benny Isn't the hydrogen decker due in soon for a trial or is that no longer a thing?

Would love to see a 36s Saturday and Sunday service connecting the route hourly to Teesside Park, go via Thornaby rail station rather than Tees Barrage so it's not stepping too much on Arrivas toes (Teesside Park seems fair game since Tees Flex and Arriva go there regular). and it be decker operated maybe.
i think its moved on now somewhere down south

(02 Sep 2022, 8:07 pm)tyresmoke Yes Stagecoach I believe are operating 3 routes this year for UTC college.
They ran one from Yarm & Stockton last year.
Additionally Stockton also operate two routes to Sedgefield School

The third Stockton-operated service runs from Hundens Park to UTC via Hundens Lane, Yarm Road, Neasham Road, Geneva Road, Yarm Road, A66, Neasham Road, Hurworth, Hurworth Road, Croft-on-Tees, Tees View, Croft Road, Carmel Road South, Carmel Road North, Woodland Road, Cockerton Green, Prior Street, West Auckland Road, Coatsay Moor Lane, Heighington, Redworth Road, Heighington Lane and Long Tens Way.

Seems there's an error on Bus Times (and also on Stagecoach's website) - there's only one UTC service from Eaglescliffe, the current one. Meaning, Stockton operate 2 - the Eaglescliffe and Darlington trips, yesterday afternoon using 2 MMCs (although they didn't track as UTC) and of course Hartlepool are using 36093 (likely the only vehicle at Hartlepool to have had the screen update to have UTC programmed in - since Hartlepool's fleet still have the September 2020 update loaded in, so still state 'Face Masks Required')

(08 Sep 2022, 9:04 am)tcts24 Apparently nobody had a decker to spare for Hartlepool so 36093 is the dedicated bus for UTC

Likelihood is that there isn't a spare decker in the region - Newcastle have their own scholars to cover, likewise South Shields and Sunderland. Stockton, of course, seem to be using their E400s on service work rather than UTCs, given 19680 has spent the last two days on a 58 board that also works the first 35 into Stockton.

to be honest after COVID a lot of divisions are actually trying to get bigger vehicles and it does make sense, two or three of the divisions down south  (south downs  covering parts of HANTS and surrey was one i believe  i believe though i could be wrong) has pretty much got rid of or are in the process of trying to most of its mini buses and traded them for midi buses, when i worked at slatyford one of the engineers said unless there's a specific problem with a vehicle the fuel efficiency will only go down with age and the load it is carrying.

That’s been like that for many years, even when I used to drive them 10 years ago. Could do with a duplicate but who’s going to pay for the extra bus & driver required? Stagecoach won’t so it won’t happen. There are equal problems where other services hit schools at finish time, the 12, 36, 52, 59, 61 all have similar issues.
