(03 Feb 2026, 10:40 am)ReDemPTiion wrote From what I’ve just read Stagecoach have lost the 18 to Northstar the 32/32A to Gateshead Central and the 737 to Go North East and got nothing in return. Not looking good.

I’m also not sure how accurate it is when there’s been talks of electric buses on the 32/32A

(03 Feb 2026, 5:09 pm)Ambassador wrote Wasn't the plan that the electric buses would owned by NECA then leased? So regardless of who has it, they'd operate the electrics.

A la bee network/TFL

(04 Feb 2026, 12:32 am)Arriva7446 wrote If Stagecoach felt that the 32/32A was worth investing in with brand new buses, then maybe they will take it on commercially.

I don't mind that they have lost the 18 though, as that service used all deckers, when many of their core services were being run by single decks.

Though knowing Stagecoach they will take the opportunity to withdraw 3 x 58 plate decker as they are older than the Enviro 300's 11 plate and so nothing will change.

(04 Feb 2026, 8:31 pm)ReDemPTiion wrote Well with it now pretty much confirmed that Stagecoach have lost the 32/32A to Gateshead Central I would fully expect Slatyford’s 36468-36477 to leave for another depot probably Hartlepool to withdraw their older 59 plate E200’s. Slatyford will probably keep the newer 65 plate E200’s 37312-37319 for the time being.

(08 Feb 2026, 12:39 am)col87 wrote Stockton seems to have gained 36088 am assuming it’s at the depot for a reason and not running alongside the electrics. Am guessing Stockton engineers will be working on it or using it as a spare.

I know Walkergate don't need any Enviro 200's but that has not stopped them having one in the past. They had 37312 for probably over 18 months after they lost the 317. .

(12 Feb 2026, 4:17 pm)ReDemPTiion wrote I didn’t realise that, I wonder why. Looks like maybe a shortage of buses as if they were going to send some over permanently surely they’d send 73184-73188 as they’re Slatyford’s.

Edit: it appears 27727 has gone to Sunderland. Unsure what’s happening here.
