Ruining my plans!!

Thanks for noting them though - gonna have to alter my plans accordingly!

Fancy a splash branded E300 27735 on 12 and 27726 is again on 3/4/7/8

27733 on X34, at Gateshead now.

Several of Walkergate's E400s have went on a summer holiday to Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games, therefore all six of Stockton's Dennis Trident/ALX400s along with many reserve MAN ALX300s have been drafted into service at Walkergate to cover the missing E400s.

Which means the Olympians are getting a run out more and more, I am on 16834 now on service 13

16833 is out as well.

Saw it on Grainger Street around 1245 heading towards Freeman Hospital.

This one doesn't appear to be out anymore.

There is a notice on the bottom of the windscreen. Does anyone know what it says?

From what i can make out it says 'On loan to Busways services LTD'
I could be very wrong though.

That's correct - 'on hire to'.

Legal lettering and fleet names still appears as 'On Teesside', so I'm guessing this is the workaround.

19158 has been working on the X47 in Newcastle. Has anybody got a list or a link to the list of Newcastle buses that are in Glasgow. I imagine quite a few 60 plates have gone there seen as though the 63/X63 that use 60 plates have been using 57/58. Also ther number 1 branded buses also appear on 22 and 38 etc while the 39/40 sometines use the normal Enviero 400s rather than hybrids.

17025 - 22
17026 - 38
17027 - 12
17028 - 12
17029 - 22

Service 4 should be allocated ADL E200s

22021 on 11. I think that's another loan vehicle

27727 was running "Not In Service" on Marsden Road (from Horsley Hill). It may have been replaced by a branded ADL E300 on the X34, which was sat at its Horsley Hill terminus, or it may have come off the "E" services - which were once again suffering delays of up to 15 minutes!

27727 was being used for crew shuttle

A MAN ALX300 (presumably 22022, as this is the only South Shields MAN ALX300 that I haven't seen today) is also on the X34. Therefore, it looks as if all E400s, excluding 19194 which is under repaint, are off the road this afternoon.

19197 is still on the X34

Some odd workings from Slatyford today that I dont think have been previously noted - 27510 on the X87etc, meaning 22029 was out on the 100s. 35163/73 both on the 30s and 22413 on the 62/63.

22462 on 38s, 22048 on 62s

17025 on 12 to Walker - currently on Blackett St.

17027 as above.

MAN ALX300s 22021 and 22072-22078 are now permanently at Slatyford to try to make the depot 95-100% DDA compliant. The majority of Slatyford's non-DDA MAN ALX300s (22472-22477) were transferred to Stockton in exchange.

Hopefully by the end of this week, or sometime next week, the two new E200s should be delivered to South Shields - if the delivery is running to schedule. This should allow two of South Shields MAN ALX300s to transfer back to Slatyford, resulting in two more non-DDA MAN ALX300s being withdrawn or cascaded to Stockton.

Stockton - the last resort.

Aye, I'm kicking about Newcastle.
If you see a kid with a white top on taking photos, that's me!

I didn't notice anybody. I was too busy seeing if my bus was coming because I thought I missed it. I'm on 19682 going home on X63
