According to the fleet list, the 10/11 and 23 are meant to be a mix of ADL and MAN E200s. Not that that means much as I often see gas buses on the 23.

Not on a Sunday though, there haven't been MANs allocated for a long time. Generally its the ADL E200s or the occasional ADL E300

Wonder what Sunderland is going to do when they can't pinch the deckers off the X34 to allocated to the schools due to the reliability of the E400s

I’m sure it was mentioned that 2 deckers have transferred from Sunderland to Stockton , so Stockton will do 2 scholars during the strike and permanent afterwards

not a good day on the roads today. I was on the 71 out of Newcastle travelling on 24112 i believe it was, had to vehicle change at slatyford depot due to a defect, the new vehicle was 24110 I believe , driver said it was the 2nd vehicle change on the 71 today.

within literally 1 minute at the westerhope roundabout smoke started pouring out from a hole in the vehicle deck, (could literally see the road through the gap) every time the driver accelerated hard or braked hard, a few punters nearly had a panic but once pulled over (like every time i went to a breakdown with SNE) the defect disappears. after i got off and the vehicle pulled away what happens thick smoke again. the amount of smoke that ended up in the passenger saloon that vehicle would not pass a PSV MOT. there needs to be a massive investment soon or service will massively suffer

The question is will Stagecoach invest though. Like now it’s all very well moving the better buses to Newcastle and buying new for there but then why should Hartlepool continue to get buses which really are no good and end up getting the ones which are no good at Newcastle.  They should really invest in all depots across the region but we know they won’t.

i can understand Newcastle getting the brand-new buses as they will pay for themselves quicker and Newcastle tends to be the money-making depots, but I don't think that any area regardless of whether it's a low-cost depot or not should be using substandard buses. say for example all the darts that keep turning up if they are better than E200s or even MMCs then as long as they are safe to use and not a detriment to passengers why not use them.

They are Stockton's
19383 and 19644 were on-loan to Stockton from Sunderland during the recent strike to operate their Durham Council School Contracts (the 5045 from Deaf Hill to Sedgefield College and the SL6 from High Pittington to Durham St Leonard's)
