36963 and 39709 also are/have been on too. Understand 27730 is still under repair at Chichester, 27731 was too until a few days ago.

What is wrong with 27730 and what was wrong with 27731?

39717 is also on the E's today - which looks as if it has recently been repainted.

I think It was repainted not long before leaving South Shields. The latest repaint at Sunderland was 39714

39672 - 20/30

Would assume just mechanical woes/waiting on parts which resulted in them not being ready for transfer.

E200 on X24, will be the last one tonight

It’s 36093

27730 is still at South Shields and will eventually be transferred to Sunderland (possibly by tow truck)

I assume this is covering for 36479? There is a photo of it on Flickr alongside 27730 with a missing bumper.

This one seems to be the most unreliable ADL E300 at the moment - having had at least three lengthy periods VOR in the past year or two.

Before it first broke it had what sounded like a rattily cooling fan. It was fixed and later broke again, and I wonder what is up with it now.

27736 has been on the 16 in Sunderland today. Was only a matter of time...

There is a photo on Facebook of 27729 on the 16 as well.

An "E's" branded ADL E300 was also spotted on service 4 recently (unsure what day).

It would be nice to regularly have the odd Gas Bus on the E's instead of a mixture of E200s.

Looks like 19437 is on the X34, presumably the summer transfer for the additional PVR on the E services?
