The vehicle is part of Manchester's order. Up here for media work, apparently. Busways batch to follow...

Not all of Manchester's have been delivered. Only the ones for Ashton have been - the Kendal and Lancaster ones are being delivered now then it is the summer shutdown at Alexander Dennis. We are looking at late August/early September for the North East examples.

I very much doubt they would brand the 62/63 Angel

Could just see the back of the E400MMC inside the depot when I was heading along North Bridge Street on the 9 at around 18:20.

Technically yes it's a new bus, but it's not a North East bus.

That's not confirmed though for September.
There was a noting of one of Newcastle's batch on delivery to Walkergate. Everything is not being delivered together, it's a mix and match.

19646 was on leave away for a week and 22070 is at Slatyford while 22067 is still at South Shields while it has an engine rebuild, once that is complete it will move on to its new home. 34611 Does not have a hole in the engine as that would make the bus very much broken, it only has a split in the exhaust flex pipe.

Does anyone know if Slatyford has withdrawn anything since the arrival of 22070/79-82 and 39706?

22026/9-31 have all been withdrawn. I believe 22029-31 are now in storage at Stockton - soon to be joined of course by Stockton's examples.

I'm assuming that they are due to be transferred to another Stagecoach division rather than scrapped?


RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016 - glen - 25 Jun 2016

I thought Stockton were get stagecoach yorkshire 22508,15 so why do  want more buses  are buses for spare.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016 - Kuyoyo - 25 Jun 2016

I give up, I honestly do.

22508-15 are for Stockton. They are expected to replace the MAN ALX300s.
22029-31 have arrived at Stockton from Slatyford for storage


RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016 - glen - 25 Jun 2016

Dan. Let shields depot have both 35's instead of 34611 and 34401 I prepare the 35's to the 34's espeally 34611 which sounds like an old banger car. Regards Robin

There doesn't need to be a replacement for 34401, Its never been used since moving to Shields while 34611 sees nearly daily service on mostly the 17/18s.
Was said by one of the members on here that 34611 will be staying at Shields for the foreseeable future, While 22067 and 22070 will leave, Which 22070 has already done.

The reason 34611 sounds like a old banger car is said a few posts above by MrNut85, It has a split Exhuast Flex Pipe. Which is nothing serious and can be fixed without much hassle.
34611 before it got the split exhuast flex pipe was pretty healthy sounding, And is in pretty good condition. Minus the extensive rattling on the back row of seats.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016 - Robinwtait.19 - 25 Jun 2016

Let's hope one of the 35's come to shields one day I hope. But what can it replace.

Only thing it could replace is 34611, And that's not leaving so really there's nothing to replace.
