(30 Aug 2024, 5:50 am)Dans_bus_photos wrote So what will Slatyford be gaining for their PVR increase? 

Since Walkergate have already gained 6 additional E400MMCs I was under the impression 3 were for the increased  PVR on the 1 and the other 3 would replace the E200s allowing Slatyford to gain 3 E200MMCs for the increase on the 30/31/36

(01 Sep 2024, 9:00 am)Kuyoyo wrote But it appears the originally released fleetnumbers for Sunderland's are now not for Sunderland - the one at Sunderland is 73034 (YK74 PKF) which is for Nuneaton depot. Sunderland's are now due to be numbered 73057-76 - which was apparently always the intended plan (despite the Midlands examples being ZEBRA2 funded and therefore weren't on order when the original list was released at the beginning of the year).

(01 Sep 2024, 5:20 pm)Storx wrote Seen loads of discussion about singles at Walkergate, but does anyone know what they're meant to be actually on? I assume there must be certain routes which are allocated them similar to routes at Blyth with Arriva.

The allocations always seem a bit random bar the X63 which seem to be consistently singles most days now.

(01 Sep 2024, 5:24 pm)stagecoachbusdepot wrote Tend to be a mixture of 12/22/37/38/X63.  Suspect it is certain boards on each rather than an allocation to a single service (even on paper), though it's a while since I've seen an official fleetcard which would confirm.
