Also it’s believed Stagecoach don’t have any agreement with Newcastle City Council regarding the non compliant buses in the clean air zone and will most likely get a big fine once all buses have been replaced. Surprised they haven’t had them all changed sooner.

If they are then practically all the 64/65 E300s will be gone YAY!!Should be, 22408-413,22428,443&444 are the remaining ALX300’s that will be heading that way. 22443 has been off road for a while unsure if you will get that or not. 22411’s gearbox went the other night I think it is getting repaired so should still go with the others. 22570,574,581,24117,119 are the remaining Enviro 300’s. 22581 broke down on 20th February and is now just sat at the back of slatyford depot unsure if that is now withdrawn.

Surely the ex Highlands buses are going to withdraw something which I assume with the ALX300's and there's no need for 40 single Decker's at Slatyford either unless I'm missing something.Just predictions based on them being all non compliant buses for CAZ. I don’t think Slatyford are getting all 271**’s and 272**’s some should be staying at Stockton but I think the highland buses are to allow a few extras to head north as Slatyford are definitely struggling for buses.

To make matters worse it is the crossroads (for Byker metro).Them hybrids are getting worse each day. According to bustimes 12068 and 12069 haven’t been seen since October. Anyone know what’s up with them?
Unsure what the problem was as I was on a different bus.
