RE: Stagecoach North East - Part 2 - Dan - 08 Aug 2013
A little late in posting, but I managed to get a hold of a "limited edition" Sunderland International Airshow 2013 ticket earlier this week.
See attachment for a Concessionary Single purchased on 22074, a vehicle which was being utilised on airshow shuttles on 27/07/13.
I unfortunately didn't get one - had my Nexus CAT ticket that I used on the shuttle instead.
RE: Stagecoach North East - Part 2 - Malarkey - 08 Aug 2013
Stagecoach provided not 1 but 2 odd workings today in the Newcastle Area with the usage of MetroCentre Shuttle Enviro 300's on the 11 and the 30 respectively.
27509 on the 30

Phil Medlicott, Stagecoach North-East managing director, said the company was committed to further improvement, with £6m plans to introduce 38 new buses in Sunderland and five further vehicles in Stockton.
will these 5 buses be the tridents?
RE: Stagecoach North East - Part 2 - tyresmoke - 09 Aug 2013
As Stockton still have 6 Tridents yet to arrive, I'm wondering if this is an extension to an order. If so it would be for service 37 I would presume given that has a PVR of 5. Will try and find out more.
RE: Stagecoach North East - Part 2 - Dan - 09 Aug 2013
19196 has just entered Park Lane out of service. It will presumably see use on an Ex service shortly.
RE: Stagecoach North East - Part 2 - Michael - 09 Aug 2013

RE: Stagecoach North East - Part 2 - Dan - 12 Aug 2013
I got a photo last month but I'm so back logged by photos I haven't uploaded it yet.
It is a shame that GNE aren't using it to their advantage too mind.
RE: Stagecoach North East - Part 2 - Michael - 12 Aug 2013
Along with the new delivery for Sunderland of the gas buses/enviro's.
I think stagecoach should invest in some Volvo 7900H, think they would great in stagecoach Colours.
These would be great for our roads but stagecoach are for enviro's atm =(

The reason has become clear today, 17025 is back in service at Stockton on one of the extra 36 runs (starts and finishes at Park End) freshly repainted, leaving just 17026 of the current four to be treated.
