RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 04 Aug 2016
We have been advised that Sunderland City Council need to close a section of Doxford Park Way for resurfacing
The closure will take place from Tuesday 16 August 2016 to Wednesday 17 August 2016, from 0800 to 1800.
The road will be closed westbound, between the two Moorside roundabouts.

PB0002404/18 - BUSWAYS TRAVEL SERVICES LTD T/A STAGECOACH NORTHEAST, ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, NORTH BRIDGE STREET, SUNDERLAND, SR5 1AQ
Variation Accepted by SN: Operating between City and Grindon given service number 18/19 effective from 05-Sep-2016. To amend Route and Timetable.
Looks like the changes might not be working on one part of the service.......

Only difference I can see is that it has returned to the old route around Grindon and will now serve Gartland Road again.

Ye, good move, i think the move to remove it from that part of Grindon was stupid anyway, glad its going back around that way.
Going to be tight though, timetable hasn't been giving any extra time.

Update on these roadworks:
Return of Holmeside bus stops for Services 5, 8, 10, 11, 16 and 20
From Tuesday 30 August 2016, these services will return to their normal westbound stops along Holmeside, outside the Market, rather than use the temporary bus stops outside Hay’s Travel.
Services 5 and 16 will observe the most westerly of these two stops, and Services 8, 10, 11 and 20 will observe the most easterly of these two stops.
There are no changes to times.

I only seen 27506,09 today along with a alx300 but should be out as Slatyford have prepared it 4 service

I thought the buses 22508'15 were for stockton.

Was prepared for service weeks ago. But no sing of it ever. I use the 100 every day and a kinetic has not been in service.
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - tyresmoke - 03 Sep 2016
I think it's pretty clear that NE have looked at the condition of the Kinetic's and have decided not to put them into use.
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Dans_bus_photos - 03 Sep 2016
How does transfers between divisions within the Stagecoach group happen?
Did Stagecoach North East request these kinetic's or were they told of management that they were getting them to replace certain buses?
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - glen - 03 Sep 2016
If buses 22508'15 are in bad condition can't stagecoach north east sand buses the buses stagecoach Yorkshire get money back or can't there do that.
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - tyresmoke - 03 Sep 2016
To be fair I think nobody at Stagecoach Yorkshire could believe anyone wanted to take them off their hands...
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - S813 FVK - 03 Sep 2016
The fact that the North East is the Kinetic's 3rd home says something really.
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Ambassador - 04 Sep 2016
It's really odd that the 100 doesn't get new investment as opposed to cast offs really

Surprised there isn't deckers on there
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - markydh - 05 Sep 2016
It's not that odd. There are no comparable single deckers on the market in terms of capacity and they can't upgrade to double deckers due to one of the routes having a low bridge. Obviously, the E300s can't keep going forever (maybe 2 years left in them). It will be interesting to see what the powers that be decide to do.

It wouldn't be a total loss to stop using the route with the low bridge. Plenty of alternatives around

Exactly - if they just used Handy Drive etc both ways, deckers would be fine. Most drivers go to Newcastle via Dunston, out onto the A1 and off at the next sliproad onto the bypass thing that follows through onto the Redheugh Bridge yet come back to the Metrocentre via Teams & Handy Drive.

I think it's about the drivers having the option to take the other route, to avoid traffic etc.
What has always been a little hard to believe is that a 46 seat 12.6m E300 would be unacceptable despite the 05-plates only having two more seats. And if capacity is really the reason for lack of investment, why is/was a 43 seat Kinetic being considered?
