Nothing strange in that - the 0900 arrival from Hemlington on weekdays terminates with a fresh bus taking over, happens all the time. The regular Driver usually takes the decker round to check the replacement bus is on stand.
So if it came off at 0855 how come it was on the 0901 from Hemlington to Middlesbrough.
That should have said '0845 from Salters Lane to Middlesbrough',
Pathetic how you can't edit or reply to something from two days before just 'cos the month has changed.

That's not really unusual now. The E400Hs have been turning up on all Walkergate decker routes in the last few days as their five year funding stipulation to only appear on the 39 and 40 is about to or has already come to an end. Both Slayford and Walkergate seem to have a shortage of E400s at the moment as there are a number of MANs in daily use on the likes of the 12, 39, 40, 62 and 63. They could just be dupes but I don't think they are.

I don't think they are dupes as they are often on the 22 as well. There was even a E200 on the other day so they must be short.

Hopefully the shortage should be resolved when the Newcastle Division receives new Vehicles, Which should be this year.

Newcastle are way overdue new buses - none for 5 years I think it is would like to see the 10, 11 and 30/31 get some new E200 MMCs (longer version) and some E400s for maybe the 1 or 38.

Recently I've seen E200's on the 12 & 39 (39723 both times!) so they must be desperate. The was one on the 31 on Monday too.

Yep at least the routes are frequent as a lot of people would be left behind at peak times. 22014 going back to Stockton hasn't helped at all.

I have noticed that the 12 & 22 seem to be getting a few ALX300's on too.

Yeah and there doesn't seem to be enough 22 branded E400s as most of the ones I've had/saw have been unbranded - strange if they didn't brand enough for the PVR!

Maybe stagecoach could reinstate the storage darts at Sunderland and send them to walkergate

For what route:
1 has branded E400s though not enough for the PVR, my grandparents live on the route and from experience ALX300s are not suitable
15/15A is not able to have darts due o the the tender requirements
18 is given ALX300s
12 has E400s and IF necessary can have ALX300s
22 has branded E400s
39 has E400H
40 has E400H
Of course I would like darts but they could not be used

To act as spares if buses are unavailable

What we need are more E400s

They would be more suited to Slatyford to put on the 32/32A, 35 and if needs must the 72, 87 and 88
RE: Stagecoach North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2016 - NK53 TKT - 06 Apr 2016
They could go on the X77/X78 in return for ALX300s

Well since 22014 isnt at walkergate they need an extra bus

The early arrival of the alx300s should be withdrawn when new buses arrive ive actually rode all the alx300 transbus series in all my travel outings though unfortunately missed 22014 now its at stockton luckily got 22011 yesterday on the 12
