No surprise to see service 33 being cut and therefore some Darts will be freed up. It should be more or less 2 buses, and therefore will be used to flush out 2 more of the ALX200's still in use around the region.

Nobody knows for certain what they will do. They might keep 2 Darts and decide to get rid of 2 MANs instead. We'll have to wait and see, Stagecoach NE keep their cards pretty close to their chest, indeed nobody knows what is on order for this year (bar the Gas E300s) yet and not even the group order has been announced!

The network is very stable and that shows in their passenger loadings, though NE are less forward thinking than other divisions, choosing instead to carefully expand through small additions. Just look at how slow they've been to pick up on wi-fi etc!
They provide what passengers want first and foremost, a professionally run, reliable bus service.

Hopefully in time they'll look to pick up on what other divisions have, like a Gold branded service etc

I'm positive the information regarding this year's orders has made it to some members of the North East enthusiast community - probably down to people being told to keep it quiet.

Indeed a post was made a week or two ago mentioning that depots are now aware of winning bids...

My "dentist appointment" has been arranged...just two days after the real one.

Nip back home for my camera and then get myself to the depot for a ride on one of the gas buses, get a few photos, run back home to drop the camera off and head back to school. Subway for my dinner, I think! Wink

I'm popping there first thing (getting the 0923 X7 from Stockton, after a quick morning photoing bit in Stockton for the Macmillan 58s Wink ) then back into the city to hunt down the only non-DDA MAN at Sunderland - 22196.
