Are these permanent transfers and is it all of 37301-37319?

Seems strange that as I’m sure there both identical with specs etc

37143/4/301-319 are Euro 6, not 5

Isn’t euro 6 specified for some routes that shields operate (sure 10/11 is) I think there is also some link with funding from South Tyneside council as per the E300s that were bought for the Economic services in 2011. I know the CAZ has caused all this but surly Stagecoach should have planned this better and invested into it instead of ploughing everything into there “pet” depots north of the border as per usual

36963 now at Shields today

37318 now at Walkergate swapped today

Is the whole batch ex Shields getting swapped out?

Maybe just the 65 regs 37312-19 ?

Has anything been seen of 27631/32 recently as, according to Bustimes, they have been tracking back home in Inverness. I seem to recall a report of 27631 on Shields depot a couple of weeks back.

Not sure as originally 37312/15 were sent to cover deckers to Cheltenham with no vehicles back on return.  27631/32 I believed may have been the replacements for 12/15, but now not sure

37301-19 are all from same batch. 12-19 were delayed delivery and surrendered there original 15 plates for new 65 ones as they were delivered after the changeover. 27631/2 are directly replacing 2 man E200s when there mot’s expire at the end of the month.

kind regards

If "27631 / 27632" are still tracking in Inverness, it's likely that their ticket machine were removed up there and are now in a different vehicle but unprogrammed for that vehicle.  Always beware taking BusTimes as fact!

37316 now running in Newcastle. Just 37313/14 to move from the 65-reg examples.

With the transfer of 37312 from Slatyford to Walkergate, 36962 moved to Shields yesterday, however that leaves the balance tipped towards Walkergate as 36470 is VOR

36960 also moved to Shields yesterday, but has transferred back to Walkergate this morning apparently.

Appears to be tracking as 39702

(29 Mar 2023, 12:41 pm)Dyllan7817 wrote Appears to be tracking as 39702

i think 39701 or 702 has been replaced at shields by one of the scottish E300s, and the 200 has transferred to slatyford for parts removal

(29 Mar 2023, 12:41 pm)Dyllan7817 wrote Appears to be tracking as 39702

Look at the 17 diagram it was on the turn in between 37301 and 39702.

27631 is the replacement for 39701, that's gone. 39702 goes this weekend.

Now that 27248 has moved to Slatyford, can anyone explain how it seems to spend some of the day tracking in Newcastle then suddenly starts tracking in Teesside.
I seem to recall that Stagecoach vehicles are tracked using data from the baseplate on the vehicle. This should mean that a vehicle cannot track as anything other than its true identify - or am I missing something ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated !!

Errors happen all the time, often service 10 will show Lemington, Grangetown, Lingfield etc. 27248 lost its ticket machine to 22570, seems the new and old are conflicting.

22428 is the vehicle with a baseplate that shares 27248’s details. 22570 is tracking as 22570.
Stagecoach’s vehicle data comes from the baseplate not the machine (as does Wayfayer) - unlike Ticketer where the machine holds all the data.

22570 got the machine first apparently if only temporarily. Still doesn't explain why often a vehicle will be on a service in Newcastle yet every other turn be duplicated with one in Sunderland..

ive been hearing rumors of an ALX300 transferring to Sunderland, sounds abit of a strange transfer, can anyone confirm this?

22341 has gone up to Sunderland as Harry posted last night but someone has put it down as local which isn’t Harry’s user, so who knows why it’s gone up…

Any updates on Hartlepool Depot for any vehicle transfers?

(15 May 2023, 6:49 pm)AlexRPlays wrote Any updates on Hartlepool Depot for any vehicle transfers?

Unfortunately not.  My guess would be though that if and when the Saltburn services start 4 buses will likely be swapped with 4 darts/Enviro 200 going to Stockton and 4 Man/ Enviro 300 coming to Hartlepool in return. I think at least as a short term solution although it might get to the point where the Saltburn 1/2 goes the same way as the 18 did with it registered but the start date been put back a few times before it eventually quietly gets dropped.
