Won’t be Newcastle not CAZ compliant

27688 has also arrived from Wales and is currently parked against the back fence in Stockton depot yard alongside the reserve MANs.

2 X E400MMCs on 685 today.

Is this now a permanent allocation?

Apparently so... more **** for the NE

You mean more shite for Sunderland we’ve just lost 5 gas buses to reading.
Thought we were getting deckers at the wheatsheaf

What’s happening with the GNE strikes how are we meant to get to the metrocentre for example since the 6/7 take forever to get into gosforth

Get the 30/31 and use Northern from Newcastle to Metrocentre. Transfers are valid on Northern between Sunderland and Metrocentre https://www.nexus.org.uk/adult-transfare

Thanks for info mate is going be more buses coming for Wales then?

Does anyone know when the Walkergate depot batch of E400MMCs are getting reapainted as Slatyfords are

What is happening with 36050 & 36197, as 36050 tracked in Peterhead on Wednesday

36197 is in service at Hartlepool, not tracking at present.

Does anyone know where 22581 is? Was on the back yard at Slatyford last I saw now it’s gone and not in engineering either. 22443 was taken by alpha the other day 22345 following soon wondering if that’s gone to scrap as well. Was meant to be going Stockton eventually.

I think 22581 has been scrapped according to bustimes and 22345 has been sold to a dealer called 'T Wigler' and to add to that I think 22409 has been scrapped aswell according to bustimes but I don't think it would be accurate.And unfortunately I don't know anything about what is happening with 22443.It is sad to see the ALX300s go so suddenly.

Thats what I thought but I pressed track bus and last time I checked it was going past Leam Lane down to South Shields

(01 Nov 2023, 2:02 pm)BusEnthusiast.com wrote Thats what I thought but I pressed track bus and last time I checked it was going past Leam Lane down to South Shields

Currently near Tyne dock so it’s transferred over then. Would imagine the other 2 be joining in the coming days

Kind regards

E300 27740 working out of Sunderland today. Loan or perm transfer?

(02 Nov 2023, 9:22 am)ifm001 wrote E300 27740 working out of Sunderland today. Loan or perm transfer?

It looks temporary in my opinion. It could be a loan or could be permanent we never know

(02 Nov 2023, 9:27 am)BusEnthusiast.com wrote It looks temporary in my opinion. It could be a loan or could be permanent we never know

This was on loan to Shields as cover for the X34 until the deckers transferred from Walkergate Depot and has returned to Sunderland

Hopefully they haven't killed it, although I'm not holding much hope based on when I last saw it - has it still got the blue rear bumper?
