Stagecoach Sunderland now have guides on their buses for the upcoming changes, if anyone wants one.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - Michael - 18 Jan 2017

24002 is parked out back of Wheatsheaf depot if anyone wants a picture.

At least one other Ominlink has been branded, its currently parked in the workshops, can only see its rear and that's it.

The trainer B10 went out about 10 minutes ago.

27507 now repainted


RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - LVK 404L - 19 Jan 2017

New service X24 will be serving stand D in Gateshead Interchange on journeys heading to Sunderland  instead of High Street for its first week of operation. The same stop that X34 is using whilst the road works are ongoing on Gateshead High St.

RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - Michael - 19 Jan 2017

So it looks like Stagecoach had the X24 on display in Sunderland today.

I'm sure they're all staying at Slatyford now, as said before.

27510 now back at Sunderland for repaint, so I'd assume 27507 has gone to Stockton in return.

New service X24 being advertised internally on service 100.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - Michael - 22 Jan 2017

Does anyone know where 39709, 39727 - 39732 will end up after the Sunderland changes start next Sunday?, I would think that 34605 will be withdrawn?.

I've got a feeling that one of them will make it's way back to Shield's to replace 34611, Which even though classed as a reserve, Sees use daily Monday to Friday here.

If Shields do indeed gain one, It'll be 39709, Due to it slotting in nicely with 39701/07/08 and also being a former Shields bus itself, So Maintenance already have a bit of knowledge on it.

Wouldn't be surprised if 39709 did go back to Shields.

Wonder if the rest of them will go to Newcastle to replace the MAN's or even to Stockton or Hartlepool.

Too small for Stockton - every service gets heavy loads at peak time, mainly in term time but when that's 90% of the year..........

Ah right, i don't really know the Stagecoach services outside of Sunderland and the E's for passenger numbers, maybe i should get out and about more often!


So they'll end up at Newcastle and 1 will probables go to Shields then?

It's on most Newcastle buses I've been on. From the X63 to the 32

I'd say that sounds likely, As the Dart's are starting to age now, And 34611 is the only non-Enviro left at Shields, Its only a matter of time before it's gone.

They're going all out for the X24 to advertise it, hopefully it works for them, hoping we'll see a Sunday service launched in the future if it's successful, maybe an extra journey between 1729 and 1924, leaving from Sunderland and a extra journey between 1840 and 2010 from Newcastle too....

I'm hoping to get a chance to try out the service on the Monday it starts but not sure what my shifts are at work soooo

I'm guessing they are copying the x34 with a late special leaving Newcastle after 8pm when the shops closing and staff finishing

Sunderland's not going to loose 8 buses when the PVR is only reducing by 5. Id imagine if anything one of the MAN Enviro 200s might well replace 34605 as Sunderland's reserve.

I was going by previous information post on here, it was said that we should lose the MAN enviro's.

I asked where the above Enviro's are going as it was never really confirmed what will move from Sunderland when the changes occur or how many will be leaving.

They don't tend to do that though do they. Would make sense, but when Transit lost several MAN/ALX300s to Busways they never came back, even though loads of Busways' own did!

Could it possible for t man Enviros to come hartlepool replace the dart here


RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - Dan - 23 Jan 2017

I think it was 39727 on the Felling Bypass this morning heading from Sunderland towards Newcastle.
