RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - ReDemPTiion - 23 Aug 2024

26293 has had the Stockton Cleveland transit address legal letter removed and replaced with the busways travel services Sunderland address on the side on the bus. Do they do this with loan vehicles or is this a permanent transfer with them receiving 37314?


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 23 Aug 2024

Is 26293 on loan to Newcastle depot?

Swaps going on to be able to have the right vehicles for new contracts starting next week. The 16 in Darlo needs smaller vehicles.

Understand from talking with an member of Stockton’s engineering this morning (he was the one that did the swap yesterday morning) it’s a three vehicle swap.

Does anybody know when Slatyford and Sunderland are getting the new electric buses?

Sunderland next month, Slatyford in December, I think.

RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - toward6931 - 24 Aug 2024

Does anyone know what the plan is with Sunderland? Are the electrics displacing gas buses or diesel vehicles?

OK thanks


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - F114TML - 24 Aug 2024

Dug out the memo from April.
Sunderland is late Sept/early Oct.
Stockton and Slaty is "envisaged [...] early next year" (the order was yet to be placed at the time).

Rather see the 200mmcs getting good use out of them, not being put on the ghost routes 1/2/6/RP1.

Rare to see one on the RP1 board now - bar the one trip on a Saturday evening which works off a 6 board, it's usually an E300 now. They are the preferred allocation for the 6/6A for the security barriers at the Airport.

Rp1 no one use it  may as well withdraw it


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 27 Aug 2024

Are stagecoach Stockton swapping over anymore buses to Newcastle depot or that it?


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 28 Aug 2024

I see that stagecoach Stockton depot has 26067 ,39715 39726 39730 now are stagecoach Stockton shorter buses is that right?


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - N391OTY - 28 Aug 2024

Saw Megabus Levante 59228 being towed away from Walkergate yesterday evening. One of the white ones with blue panels along either side. Not sure whether it ever saw use on Megabus services here.

26067 hasn’t - that was a machine update which can sometimes randomly cause buses to track on other depot’s route.

39715 has been at Stockton since April - but has been joined in recent days by 39726 from Hartlepool and 39730 from Sunderland. Interestingly, while 39730 is currently running round with Sunderland’s destinations still programmed in, it now has Cleveland Transit legals. What this means is unknown for the moment.

The second Teesside/Newcastle swap has seen 26291 move to Slatyford (via Walkergate) this morning with 37316 moving south to Stockton.


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Glen1974 - 29 Aug 2024

As per previous posts it's 3 vehicles planned


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - Retro Nero - 29 Aug 2024

Would be nice to see some of the new 200mmc's in Shields or Sunderland

OK mate


RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News - N391OTY - 29 Aug 2024

Have just seen Stagecoach Bluebird 36331 heading along New Bridge Street in the direction of Walkergate depot. Could be just resting up for the night before continuing a journey south tomorrow, or could be transferred here. Will keep an eye out for it.

Looks like 27253 and 27254 are included in this swap as they are both now working from Walkergate.
