RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - TransitObserver - 10 Oct 2025

What is the actual point of 19680 being at Hartlepool? Every day it does the 8:17 1 to Middlesbrough and then the 9:43 1 to Hartlepool and gets changed on that trip to an E200 and then doesn’t come back out until the day after. What a waste of a double deck bus!

Meanwhile you have unsuitable E200s on main Slatyford routes and unsuitable E300s on Walkergate routes!

Its here for a reason to act as a reserve for Stockton if anything happens to there electric decker but can be used on Hartlepool’s own services.

Yet Hartlepool has nothing but E200s and the 7 often gets packed leaving the Headland or Owton Manor.   The 1 is often packed leaving Middlesbrough so at least Newcastle has a fleet of full size buses and deckers other than 1 double decker which as I have said is mainly here to act as a reserve for Stockton Hartlepool is expected to make do a fleet of mostly knackered E200s so I wouldn’t complain to much.

I thought 19680 was going to Hartlepool for UTC/scholar work?

19680 has a dual role at Hartlepool - the trip it works on the 1 into Middlesbrough on a morning has been identified as one of the busier trips, however it sits on the front of the all night 1 working. In addition, it is to act as back-up to Stockton's electric decker (presently 80000, soon to be Yutong 83000), being used for the Sedgefield School run when that is off for inspection.

As for 'unsuitable', unfortunately they are the only Euro6 vehicles in the fleet - and other areas require deckers more.

I say before stockton 2 yutongs U11dd double decker a at least that i think?


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 10 Oct 2025

Could stockton buy second hand EV electric double decker if yutong U11dd double decker breaks down or repair or repaint then do you think do that then?


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Rapidsnap - 10 Oct 2025

Last time I checked there was 2 Yutong U11DD at Pelican, Castleford for Stagecoach, one (I assume 83000 or 83001) is in the aquatab livery whilst a second vehicle (assume to be 83001/2 depending how they start the numbering) is in Dark Despair livery.


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 11 Oct 2025

All am saying stockton sound got more one decker that all am saying mates


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - stagecoachfan - 11 Oct 2025

Temporary loans I believe as well surprised they’re not tracking properly. Should be going back to Slatyford soon


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Rapidsnap - 11 Oct 2025

Bus Times doesn't seem to work as well in Scotland as it does in the UK, think they might have different rules on Open Data as in it's not compulsory.

Photographed all 4 of them.

Plenty of other photos too.
Well worth the 16 hour round trip day with just under 3 hours in Kilmarnock!

Scotland was still part of the UK last time I checked

The laws surrounding open data are different in Scotland and they did a consultation to fix things earlier this year.  This is why.

Nice photos mate, not a fan of where they’ve put the fleet numbers haha. Probably stay like that as well when they return to Slatyford


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 13 Oct 2025

Good for you


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 14 Oct 2025

It at in next day or two if I am right.


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - TransitObserver - 14 Oct 2025

I genuinely wonder what Glen will constantly mention or ask about once the Yutong decker has arrived at Stockton

Easy, when will buses get painted blue


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 14 Oct 2025

I think one of yutongs should get painted blue because not of stockton buses are blue yet?


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - V514DFT - 14 Oct 2025

Stagecoach are going to paint one Pink just for you as a reward for mentioning it 100 times a month


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 14 Oct 2025

It just a question


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - V514DFT - 14 Oct 2025

One which you ask constantly, and get the same answer as the previous 27 times you asked


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 14 Oct 2025

I stop saying sorry
