(21 Apr 2025, 5:38 pm)ReDemPTiion wrote Could be but who knows at this point lol. 37301 was apparently made Euro 6 hence why it’s at Slatyford. I think that is a permanent transfer.

But even Walkergate seemed to have gained more vehicles than they have lost. 27726/8/31-38 transferred in but only 27157-9/27252-4 have transferred out. Can't see why they still have 37312 either

Yeah I don’t understand it either, both Slatyford and Walkergate have more buses than they need. Although when you look at how Slatyford are running they seem to be struggling yet 27727 27729 27730 and 27736 haven’t replaced anything neither did 37301

37301 has been at Slatyford since September last year when the service changes came in as I'm sure 27730 did as well and they haven't gone back


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Storx - 22 Apr 2025

I don't know but could they just not be unofficial reserve until they decide what is going on.

There's still like 20 buses to withdraw after the gas buses when the Stockton electrics come into service and everyone seems to be getting rid of newer E200's in recent months aswell.

The obvious thing would be to start getting shot of the early E200's at Hartlepool but one of them has just been repainted...


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - GrahamD83 - 22 Apr 2025

I passed one of the gas buses this evening leaving Sunderland towards the A19. Stagecoach logo and fleet numbers had been removed. Unable to ID fully but it was one of the YR14 plates.

Out of those 2 services it would likely be the 12, the ran with ALX300's for years until the 60 plate Enviro 400's came to replace them, and going back further when it was the 12/12A/12B they used to run with Darts

Oh i remember the good old days of the alx300’s however imo I preferred the 60 plate e400s as they sounded nicer and could hold ALOT more people.Question tho what is happening with these 60 plate e400s all of a sudden they have an extremely loud hoover.i have not been on them in ages and then the one day i go on them they sound soo loud.Also another question how long do u think until the 60 plate e400s are wiped from service?

I'd imagine it'll be across all of them, there seems to be a few boards which are already singles - sure someone mentioned they are aswell.

https://bustimes.org/trips/475197669/block?date=2025-04-02

Those 2 boards for example on the 37/38 and 22 are singles every day so assume they are.

I don't think its just limited to the 60 plates either, 19146 (07 reg), 19202 (57 reg), and a few of the 58 plates were all noisy, 146 and 202 were only about 2/3 years old when they were doing that hoover sound, so i dunno if its an age thing and/or something completely different


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - F114TML - 24 Apr 2025

Re the hoover sound it's to do with the radiator fan iirc. Not sure on the technicalities.


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Teessider2014 - 25 Apr 2025

22883, 24117 and 27509 have been moved to Hartlepool for storage pending being sold for scrap

24121 and 24169 are due to leave Stockton for storage in Hartlepool early next week

22889 is still awaiting a decision on whether it is repairable but considering how much has been stolen from it already I can’t really see it being any decision other than scrap.

Is 22874 officialy dead/scrap already as well?

What happened to 24117, looks to have been active until fairly recently?

22874 is reserve fleet but has been off since January with lack of power - been to MAN but they can’t sort it! It’s disappeared from Stockton now like!


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 26 Apr 2025

RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 26 Apr 2025

All it was Question mate about the withdrawn buses at Stockton depot. I getting sick people Morning at me on this site all it was question.


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - bob22222 - 27 Apr 2025

36971 is now at alpha after it's incident on Friday night

I wonder what he’s going to talk about when they’re all in service. Are Stockton going to get any diesel buses *sigh*


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 29 Apr 2025

73093 enter service today.


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 30 Apr 2025

Also in service today is 73094.


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - ReDemPTiion - 30 Apr 2025

Seems Slatyford aren’t getting Yutongs until next year now. Was originally March but they went to Stockton then pushed back to September but now looking like next year. I wonder if Slatyford could expect some buses from other places when Stockton get there Yutongs in and the 272’s go to Sunderland to replace the gas buses the 64 plate 271’s could go elsewhere in the country to replace some buses to send to Newcastle? Who knows


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - LVK 404L - 02 May 2025

27157 and 27159 both working out of Shields today, are these permanent transfers to assist with overcrowding of the E200s ready for service changes next weekend. Are there more to come?


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 02 May 2025

73094 is in service but buses time yet?

Think the 3 is possibly being an E300 allocated service. They now have 5 which would seem to support this


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - missedbus - 03 May 2025

Looks like 36965/6 have gone in the opposite direction, on the 23 today.

EDIT: 36967 on 10/11 in Sunderland as well, presumably to switch with 27158?


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Ray - 05 May 2025

10638 has returned to service in the last few days and was seen this morning while working a 63 to Middle Callerton.

10652 now sporting the dark blue


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - ReDemPTiion - 06 May 2025

73093 is on the 1&2 today. If I’m not mistaken that’s the first Yutong to be used on them routes.

Indeed - however, the boards have been amended as of today as the Yutongs won't be able to survive the day on the previous boards due to their length. As of today, the board 73093 is on, it started at the same time as the old 1 board but it now goes on a break when it gets to Easington at 1040 until 1130 when it swaps onto 2s until 1416 at Saltburn when it returns to the depot to recharge.
