(18 Jul 2017, 9:07 pm)Jimmi wrote Service 82 between Thornaby and Yarm is to be withdrawn, it's cancelled on VOSA in effect from August 19th 2017, presumably meaning the last day of operation will be August 17th 2017.

Hopefully will find out why at the Stockton Council bus forum on 29th!

You won't as I am away that day in East Yorkshire  Wink
Unfortunately the funding for it has ran out, and we can't keep it running as nobody uses it.
The 88 will continue as normal!

I meant from the Council gadgees rather than from you!

Good stuff!


RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Kuyoyo - 22 Oct 2017

New addition to the fleet is former Epsom Coaches Mercedes-Benz Citaro BN12EOX. It was out on the all-day 84/X8 turn yesterday (having been on the college/84/X8 turn the day before)

Do they have two Mercs or just this one?
Saw one on a Prior college run earlier in the week (Thurs or Fri am), but didn't get reg details.

It will have been this one


RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Jimmi - 25 Oct 2017

Another recent addition to the fleet is OmniDekka YN03 DFL, which made an appearance on service 88 this afternoon after replacing VAG606R.

One of those registration numbers really is quite unfortunate.

RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - tyresmoke - 26 Oct 2017

That's one of three to join our fleet. There's a 52 plate and another YN03 (DFV?) - I'll double check tomorrow lol


RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Adrian - 30 Oct 2017

Citaro BN12EOX is now in 'X8 Teesside Park' livery.

Love the "Teesside Park" branding when they were stupidly wanting to rename the centre "Teesside"!

Yes, I quite like it too.


I think it's a shame that the bus wasn't painted in two-tone blue and then there would have been less need for as much vinyl - you can see quite a bit of the red bus, when just vinyl is used.

He's getting the red grills and panel gaps filled in before it properly hits the road. The Merc is on promotional duties with freebies at Teesside Park later this week too.


RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - tyresmoke - 31 Oct 2017

I believe “Teesside” is to rebranded back to “Teesside Park” at some point in the future hence our bus is branded for when that happens

Haha! Not surprised! Hope Durham Tees Valley Airport is next!

Yes, but I suppose the red front at least shows its a Stagecarriage bus if its used on other services, or if other buses stand in for it on the X8.

A citaro would be overkill on that!

The bronze is very smart, I must say. It's one classy looking bus.
