Sadly not, damage may be terminal. Car driver is in custody, ran the red light is mild, impact speed was double the road speed and no attempt made to stop. The accident was fatal hence as a live investigation wasn't made public.

(09 Jun 2023, 7:40 am)ReDemPTiion wrote According to bustimes 22581 is back in service on a service 7. I did see it yesterday in the depot and it had been put back together and fixed so I’m not sure if it’s a tracking error. Not sure if it’s planned to go to Stockton or just be used on 6/7 as that route does not go into the city centre.

(09 Jun 2023, 9:20 pm)ReDemPTiion wrote 27254 is currently having its connecting the dots branding removed in Slatyford engineering. Fully expecting it to be going for repaint and 27246/249 to follow suit.

(11 Jun 2023, 10:51 am)stagecoachbusdepot wrote Did it actually enter service at Stockton?  It seemed to arrive repainted and like 22408 and 22412 then just sit in the depot yard?

(01 Jul 2023, 4:13 pm)stagecoachfan wrote I think what may have been meant was Hartlepool getting bigger buses temporarily to increase capacity on their normal routes.

(03 Jul 2023, 7:59 pm)ReDemPTiion wrote Are the gas buses now starting to be withdrawn? 28036-40 now showing as withdrawn on bustimes. What is replacing them? I’ve heard the hybrids from Walkergate but they don’t have the new buses yet plus that doesn’t make much sense as they’re older and not very reliable..
