RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2018 - RBZ 5459 - 19 Jul 2018 (18 Jul 2018, 11:05 pm)stagecoachbusdepot wrote Fantastic to see another old livery resurrected on the preservation scene. Any idea what's going to happen internally (if anything) - obviously won't be able to get the old Busways seat coverings being open top - will the City Sightseeing branded interior be retained? Not too sure, but I'd hope the City Sightseeing seats are replaced for something a lot more neutral! 674 is privately owned by an events company, won't be getting restored in the too distant future anyway. 671 has a new life as a zip wire platform.... 670 and 673 were still stored at Slatyford.

My thoughts exactly on the seats - will look more garish than ever against the Economic maroon and cream! Oh I thought 674 was in preservation or something to do with A-line and any photos anywhere of 671? Sounds a bizarre new life!

It's stored at THV Felling 674, just rents a space in the unit. It's to be kitted out with a bar in the future, the owner does the karaoke at Cosy Joes in Newcastle - one day it might pass to us at THV! 671 attached in Newton Aycliffe.

That's a shame, but at least they've been saved from scrap for now. 671 looks sad! Maybe 670 or 673 could still be saved and go into Sunderland yellow and green.

NEBPT I guess still own 670 and 673, as all were sold to them minus 674 which they missed out on. We enquired about getting one at THV, but missed out.

RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2018 - GNE6312 - 26 Jul 2018 19200 still has it's costumer information sticker on the bottom back window from 2007-2012 when they had mega rider and uni rider liveries on all the E400s RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2018 - RBZ 5459 - 26 Jul 2018 All of Slatyford's E200MMCs have now lost their Stagecoach bus app lettered vinyls from their rear-side windows - all still retain their rear wraps minus 26070 which is back out with after its rear shunt accident, now with a fresh rear. Also wish Slatyford would debrand the E200/E400 with rear replacement windows like Walkergate have, or get a new vinyl for the back..... Most E200MMCs are also carrying a rear advert promoting 30/31 in the advert board.

Had been meaning to mention for a while now that more and more MMCs seem to be completely blank on the rear, or are missing a substantial part of the branding. Think there may be more than just 26070 with fresh rears - I can't be seeing the same one all the time!

They look better for it void of branding the E200s, it's a shame to cover up the rear glass cove as it's quite large and curved on them.

I wish Sunderland would do the same with 36965/72/79 which are missing branding over the rear window RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2018 - pbjd - 26 Jul 2018 (26 Jul 2018, 7:33 am)RBZ 5459 wrote All of Slatyford's E200MMCs have now lost their Stagecoach bus app lettered vinyls from their rear-side windows - all still retain their rear wraps minus 26070 which is back out with after its rear shunt accident, now with a fresh rear.

First one I saw with the new ad was on the 87 , some also have an ad for the 36. RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2018 - RBZ 5459 - 28 Jul 2018 20550 has been sold to Ensign. RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2018 - S830OFT - 29 Jul 2018 With Newcastle's allocatons changing quite a lot am I correct with this allocation? 1: Enviro 400s 6/7/8: ManViro200s 10/11: ALX300s 12: Enviro 400s 18: 1x Kinetic, 2x Enviro 400s 22: Enviro 400s 30/31/36: Enviro 200 MMCs 32/32A: ManViro200s 35: ManViro200s 38: Enviro 400s 39/40 Enviro 400s Hybrid 62/63/X63: Enviro 400 MMCs X47: Enviro 400s, ALX300s X78: ALX300s X82: ALX300s X87/X88: ALX300s, Enviro 400s. Also with the 18 only having one single decker allocated to, what are 22022, 22024 and the spare kinetic often allocated to? Also is it true Slatyford are due to take more cascaded vehicles to see off more ALX300s?
