Id imagine so as they can't leave till 36081/6 replace them

(09 Nov 2018, 3:47 pm)glen1234 wrote Want are they replace are they replace 03 and 54 reg is that right at stagecoach Newcastle.

10 in total by the end of transfers, five to Slatyford and five to Walkergate if I recall. Walkergate need the extra for PVR increases recently.

Are Stockton getting some thing to replace the man's o3 & 54 reg

They are still in Hartlepool and in service was on 6/7 other day

36081 has now landed at Hartlepool

Are the 03 and 54 reg man's at stagecoach Newcastle and Stockton now start to withdraw or is it buses off road replacement buses.

28032 is the latest repaint at Sunderland

Nothing for Stockton.... you may get a random 54 plate if your lucky.

Thanks for info mate

36086 did go the other way later on.

22513 in a collision in Byker this morning. Not sure how much damage it sustained. Anyone know if the bus will be in service, be repaired or withdrawn?

So thats why the 12 and 18 were diverting,no news on the bus involved but it does seem to have been cleared up now or was in the process of being cleared up when i passed about an hour ago

The Chronicle have got a couple of on-line articles covering it, with photos showing the bus from the rear, and the remains of the car.

24 year old 'man' tooling about like an A hole

Ridiculous. Hopefully nobody was badly injured. No mention of the bus driver. Any idea whether or not 22513 will be in service and if so when?

Bus driver was fine. Bit early to speculate if/when until they've evaluated it, but given the money spent on getting the Kinetics up to scratch, especially fettling the Walkergate two, it's quite likely be repaired unless it turns out anything more than cosmetic damage. Cars tend to come off worse.

Believe a Stagecoach bus may have caught fire at Cobalt Business Park this morning.

Also noted 24115 being towed south on the A1(M) by Alpha Recovery around an hour ago.

Wasn't a fire, believe it was a burst hose.

...so steam rather than smoke! Hazy driver reports!

Which vehicle had a burst hose?

My money is on an ADL Enviro 400 of some description.

36473 still at Chichester, looks like it is going to receive a engine refit.

(15 Nov 2018, 5:43 pm)AIG20 wrote Which vehicle had a burst hose?

Was a 22, so more than likey an E400 - didn't bother chasing up which one. 

(15 Nov 2018, 6:41 pm)S830OFT wrote 36473 still at Chichester, looks like it is going to receive a engine refit.

Yeah it's awaiting an engine replacement, still to swap with 39705 - the final swap in the E200 regional movements. Lets not open that can of worms!


One that hasn't been mention, 19215 has been given a BBC Sounds allover advert. Passed me on the way home reminding me.  https://www.flickr.com/photos/emdjt42/44933940245

Been waiting for confirmation on that one, but 24115 off to Plaxton Anston for Euro 6 Cummins conversion. UK Bus MANviro-hangover conversion programme has started up again with a good number pencilled in from around the UK to be done, but surprised to see a NE one(s) penciled in - believe there will be more to follow over the months ahead, at present I'm not sure which ones.

24113 and 24114 are to receive new Cummins units.

22443 is under service prep at Walkergate - their 3rd ex-Yorkshire example, while 17239/40 are now off fleet for the winter.
