RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News
(24 Apr 2024, 6:51 pm)Scottish city buses wrote Saying that I'm not in Hartlepool much but have family there, they keep saying the buses that are there can get packed quickly, my Grandmother in particular went back to Hartlepool on the No1 bus, and summit about the E200s 36/0s their was a bus broke down and 2 buses got to Middlesbrough and 36089 broke down outside of the stands at Middlesbrough and the back e200 had to take about 50 passengers home ??
34611 had to be withdrawn yesterday as the speedometer was broke and 34605 apparently broke down at Clavering today. The 6/7 often gets packed so yes they definitely needs to be full size buses again.
They three solutions here for Stagecoach either they improve the pits/build new ones at the existing depot, move to a new and better depot elsewhere in the town, or have Stockton be responsible for the major engineering works on them. but the current plan is Stockton’s buses will be replacing the fleet once they get the electrics so they must be something in place.
I know they are looking into the Hartlepool network as well and I believe they are looking into bringing at least one former service back on a trail basis.
