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 usual10/11/516.

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.

(29 Mar 2023, 2:18 pm)toward6931 wrote 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 removal27631 is the replacement for 39701, that's gone. 39702 goes this weekend.
(24 Apr 2023, 11:32 pm)N391OTY wrote 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.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.
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 !!

(25 Apr 2023, 8:45 am)Kuyoyo wrote 22428 is the vehicle with a baseplate that shares 27248’s details. 22570 is tracking as 22570.22570 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..
Stagecoach’s vehicle data comes from the baseplate not the machine (as does Wayfayer) - unlike Ticketer where the machine holds all the data.
