On a similar note, 28001/02/05/06/07/09/10/11/13/14/15/17/18/24/25/27/29/33/32/36/37 are the Gas E300s now in corporate livery.

12065/67/68/70/71/74/76/78/81 & 84 are the E400H's which need doing.

28001/03/04/08/12/16/19/20/21/22/23/28/30/31/32/34/35/38/39 & 40 are the Gas E300's which need doing.

(25 Feb 2019, 6:30 pm)Malarkey wrote What's happening with the allocation of the E400H's, are Walkergate just allocating them to anything now as they going into corporate livery. I have noticed on my last few outings into town that their is a few being allocated to the 12/22 and 38.

12, 22, 39/40 appear to use the same buses. I don't know about the 38. Slatyford only allocates green buses to service 1 for some reason. Why are the buses with green interiors not getting repainted in the green livery? I think it looks ridiculous personally, mismatched blue exterior/green interior.

It would be great to have Gas Buses on the E's & double decker's on the X24.

(27 Feb 2019, 6:19 pm)stagecoachbusdepot wrote Was going to say it didn't make any sense for the X34s but surprisingly there's not much change in dead mileage between Horsley Hill - Wheatsheaf compared to Horsley Hill - Dean Road.  Even less difference from the Newcastle end.  Both are a bit longer though so presumably this is about creative accounting to balance books, rather than genuine cost savings.
