Stagecoach North East: Rare & Odd Workings - August 2019

24105 getting a rare Sunday out of the depot on 12/39 today

24106 also getting a rare Sunday out - spending the day shuttling to Hardwick on 58s

27738 is out on the 10/11s

19642 on the 12/13

RBZ 5459. I thought the 19’s were supposed to be used only on the x34 services only. Have just found out that one is being used on 12/13 services how date they use are buses. Robin

I'll be honest Sunderland allocations were all over the place today, a mix of ADL E200's/MAN E200's and E300's on the E1/E2/E6, again a mix of ADL E200's/MAN E200's on the 4/10/11 and then was a MAN E200 on the 3 and the 20 while two E300's were on the X24.

Go North East's allocations weren't much better either before someone bring them up.

Since they moved the Shields services over to Sunderland, they've been all over

Unless it meant there was a single deck on the X34 (it didn't - they have 4 buses for a PVR of 3 and the other 3 were indeed on the X34) I am not sure what the issue is?

The X34 deckers got used on almost every service in shields quite often found on 3/4/7/8 circuit, 17/18, X20 and once I seen one on the 11.

I think the spare decker is meant form part of the PVR for the Es unless needed on the X34

Dart on the 23

22580 on 62/63

Darts seem to be a regular thing now on the 18 in Sunderland now.

Michael. I am glad that 35188 is staying at Shields depot for good. We should have another one to help during the day. We should have 34605. Robin

27738 on the X24 this morning.

36963 did a late turn on the X24s last night.

27732 was on the X34 all day yesterday.

27739 is on the X34

27732 is on the 23

So presumably there is several E200s on the Es as a result

One of the E branded buses is on the 20 today

Michael. Was out today and saw 34611 on E6 to Sunderland why not use gas buses instead. Robin

Maybe they're all allocated to their correct services and there could be a few off the road for work or repaints.

But i'm not sure tbh
