Agree with David. Just hope they don't plaster stuff over the windows again.

Given that it is a Sunday, hopefully this should be a sign that the construction of the refuelling facility at the Wheatsheaf has been completed. Anyone spotted gas buses on other Sunderland services?

There was at least one out on the 16.
Didn't see any others.

It's still there yes


RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Acky81 - 25 Aug 2014

Didn't see any gas buses today must not operate bank holidays either as it's a Sunday service


RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Roland Pratt - 26 Aug 2014

Anyone seen 22206 lately? It's disappeared from Teesside.


RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - Roland Pratt - 26 Aug 2014

(26 Aug 2014, 11:56 am)AIG20 wrote I'm sure it was last seen alongside 22172, 22190? and 22727 at Walkergate Depot. If not, it'll most likely be in the storage shed at Stockton, where 22193/5/8/9/201, and any other withdrawn vehicle that isn't in the "dead line", are presumably placed.

It's not at Stockton. 22195 isn't in the storage shed either. 22198 is still on the road.

RE: Stagecoach North East - Latest - 56everyday - 27 Aug 2014

Have concluded that the vehicles currently operating services 6, 7, and 8 are sound vehicles. They seem to manage the roads exceptionally well and I am surprised that there are so few of them in the fleet. In addition, I have decided that there is no point to service 6, as it feels the need to give up operating after 17:00. Also, service 8 is much better, and I feel the bus company would benefit from replacing service 6 with service 8.

Not windows that you are supposed to be able to see out of?!

Just 2, one has been returned to it's owner.

22049 has gained a rear advertisement. I think it was something to do with a college or something - "climbing heights" was a tagline.

(30 Aug 2014, 4:34 pm)AIG20 wrote I think several of Slatyford's MAN ALX300s have gained a rear advertisement, including 22040 (NK53 KFE) and 22041 (NK53 KFF).
Images owned by Flickr user "Dan's Bus Photos".
I meant 22040 earlier - the 9 is next to the 0. Fat thumbs. Tongue

Well the gas buses were out last Sunday but weren't on the bank holiday...

So it looks like there has been some issues with the new infrastructure...
