It’s being kept at Stockton for a small while to monitor the engine

(23 Sep 2025, 7:59 am)ReDemPTiion wrote Hartlepool are getting 19680 but I do also worry about them just taking that eventually too. Don’t understand why they couldn’t keep 27238!

(23 Sep 2025, 2:07 pm)col87 wrote Yes they are also decent full size buses not doing anything been stored at Stockton which Hartlepool could use, I don’t understand why they not.

The rest of the redundant E300s have all departed for their new homes (including I believe 27166 after work on that has been completed).

(23 Sep 2025, 6:43 pm)stagecoachbusdepot wrote Are 27177/78/81 still around in the NE somewhere?

Did all of the knackered old stuff stored at the back of Teesside go for scrap when the chargers were installed at the start of the year (I'm thinking of the long withdrawn MAN E200s 24121/69 and E300s 39707/10/23 etc)?  Presume the more recently withdrawn MANs are still in the shed, oe have they gone fro scrap already?

27177 hasn't been in service since May 2025 if Flickr is anything to go by following the Electrics entering service on Teeside.

(27 Sep 2025, 9:41 am)ReDemPTiion wrote 24101-24110 will go to Walkergate when the Yutongs enter service at Slatyford on Monday. 24111-24115 will remain at Slatyford until the remaining Yutongs enter service.

I believe 24101-24110 will displace the 277’s at Walkergate to head back to Sunderland to replace some of the gas buses. With someone reporting 10923 at Slatyford from West Scotland I wonder if we can expect the rest of their 67 plate batch, 10918-10932 in the north east to potentially head to Walkergate as I believe 24101-24110 will only be there for a few weeks before heading south somewhere.
