Meanwhile, the entire fleet of ex-Newcastle Enviros are now in service with 27508 out on 10/11 today. However, 27507 was returning to the depot as I walked back up from there and 27509 was parked in the middle shed.

(29 May 2017, 9:46 am)AIG20 wrote So what is replacing (or temporarily replacing) those South Shields ADL E300s?

As the service changes at South Shields take place next Sunday (4th June). I thought that the "E's" no longer stopping at PLI wouldn't effect the overall PVR - to prevent the buses from running late.

(29 May 2017, 12:02 pm)Dan wrote I believe the PVR of the E1/E2/E6 reduces by 1, from 4th June.

They could have reduced it by 2, but this would have only allowed one minute recovery time in Sunderland. Instead, the service will be scheduled to have 7 minutes layover on Fawcett Street.

From this date, Go North East's service 9 will consequently serve stop 18 on Fawcett Street instead of stop 17 - i.e. one stop earlier, the same as services 20/20A, opposite Beautiful Homes. This groups all of Go North East's Newcastle Road services together on one stand, and gives Stagecoach a dedicated stand for its E1/E2/E6 services in the event that the 7-minute layover is required, but in reality, I doubt the service will require it, and this layover is just built into the timetable to ensure it departs Sunderland on time.
