(27 Jan 2023, 5:03 pm)lloyd647 Is Walkergate keeping the hybrids 12061-12086 as when typing the number plate in it comes up £50 charge. So wondering if they still only euro 5.It’s the same for 24101-24115 they’re saying £50 charge but they’re euro 6 so I’d imagine the hybrids have had something done to them as well

(27 Jan 2023, 7:17 pm)nova347 So does that include GNES Hybrids? I know its probably yes as its the common sense answer as if Stagecoach Hybrids are exempt then GNES should to but I just wanted to clarify.im sure all hybrids are exempt
Does anyone know if buses are getting swapped today between Slatyford and Stockton or are they just going to be using the old ones tomorrow and get charged?

(29 Jan 2023, 11:46 am)Dyllan7817 Some of Stocktons 271s are off road today along with their 272s so it may happen this afternoon or later on todayi have heard from a slatyford driver that apparently an agreed extension with NCC on "a handful of vehicles may be agreed due to difficulties in effecting their transfer". what's left from Newcastle to transfer over?

(29 Jan 2023, 12:53 pm)RM2186 I know the reasons why, but sometimes you just have to think that Stagecoach's answer is too throw any old c**p to Stockton.....again!well not really, the got a really decent batch of what 40 vehicles? in the form of the 64/65 plate E300s which obviously are now transferring because of a genuine reason, did they not get the 09 plate E300s from brand new as well. plus the 69 plate 200MMCs.

(29 Jan 2023, 1:00 pm)RM2186 Because the 36/37/38 routes in Stockton and Middlesbrough are heavily used and lengthy. No doubt the lovely vehicles coming down will show their weaknesses and further decimate patronage.to be honest that's a fault at company level not investing enough, Newcastle has more routes, more passengers with more intensity until recently running with the same ALX300s Stockton will be receiving.

Walkergate currently have; 22065,22341,22347 and 22437.
A lot of Slatyford buses have been struggling for reliability so it wouldn’t surprise me if there is an extension but some may not even make the journey down to Stockton in their current condition.

(29 Jan 2023, 1:18 pm)Storx Not sure about that mind; Walkergate definitely does. Slatyford I'd question it big time, other than the 62/63 most their routes are quite weak really other than the 30's which got investment. The 6/7/71/72/X77/X78/X79/X82/87 are all weak routes hence the lack of investment imo and the sort of routes GNE has been butchering lately.i would disagree massively on the 71/X82/X87, when i worked at slatyford the X82 and 7 were quite busy especially at peak times,
Stockton is generally a strong area with some decent strong routes. Arriva is the same down there.
