Probably Sunderland like the other ones…

Wonder if these are arriving to allow the start of the 8 gas buses going to Reading?

Well they’ve received 7 E300’s from West Scotland so could well be. Wonder if they’ll be getting an eighth one then.

But they've just lost the 4 Cambridge E300s and 36050.
Not sure what the long term plans are for 27736/7 either.
RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - F114TML - 28 Nov 2024
The cambridge ones came up to allow the open toppers to be withdrawn. They've been replaced by 27717/718/771/772.
36050 was non-standard (being effectively a Dart with an Enviro body). It was also euro 4 so couldn't be used on the 8, 99 or 594, and had no cab-to-depot radio so couldn't go out at night (or rather shouldn't have). It was replaced by 36971

They can have 27737 back it’s awful but 27736 on the other hand is a rocket I hope we keep it

27738 has now joined 27736/7 at Slatyford. Unsure if these are all loans or not, 27738 got taken off the E2 yesterday and sent to Slatyford for the 35’s and is on the 6/7 today.
RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - L469 YVK - 03 Dec 2024
I've just realised tonight, that the height limit on Wellington Road bridge (one of the old 100 routes) is 14". Stagecoach have low height E400MMC's don't they? Could this be an option for Stagecoach if they re-introduced it in the future?

They're not going to bring it back, the resources are instead being used on the Great Park expansion and increase in service on route 1.

Northcord have announced the forthcoming release of a model of 10646 in Newcastle Busways livery.

When I went to Manchester a while back, I managed to catch 12070 but only managed to go three stops before it eventually died and then replaced for an ex-Go North West Gemini. Safe to say I wasn't the happiest hahah.
12083 is back out in service according to bustimes so you might get lucky with 12080 time will tell.

Sometime in the new year, they're still doing work in the depot.

Doesn't surprise me at all tbh haha
Its the same as the works on Chester Road, where the pipe burst, seem to be taking AGES to fix that.
RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Acky81 - 09 Dec 2024
Any pics of the wheatsheaf??
RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Michael - 10 Dec 2024
One of the electric buses is out and about today, looks like doing the 23 route - as its just passed my house.
RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Michael - 10 Dec 2024
Has anymore of Sunderland's Yutongs arrived?
RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - TransitObserver - 10 Dec 2024
With Stagecoach losing Manchester depots Hyde Road and I believe Ashton to Metroline in January 2025 will we see more buses sent to Newcastle to join 11717-11722?

Putting it lightly
There's a lot coming

The majority of them have. There's at least a dozen in total at Stockton for storage, plus the 2 at Sunderland.
I've personally photographed 10 of the 20 so far.
RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Rapidsnap - 11 Dec 2024
Ex Manchester vehicles will be spread around the UK. Of the double deckers, priority is to replace all remaining Tridents and start replacing any ADL Enviro 400s that have a low Euro Rating. Not sure if that includes open toppers.
Also a number of vehicles (25 ADL Enviro 400MMCs) are going to Stagecoach depots at Perth and Arbroath to replace the Volvo B5LH / ADL Enviro 400MMCs (These - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/50680567451) which have been sold to TfGM to pass onto Metroline Manchester for use on the Bee Network. I believe there is also talk of more ADL Enviro 400H being sent into Manchester too, so we could see the last of the 12xxx go from the North East.

Any idea as to why? Doesn’t really make sense imo Walkergate shouldn’t have single deckers anyway
