---

I’ve heard it is entering service at slatyford in Cleveland transit be a while before it’s painted

Shame then really as they could have left it till last.  I am guessing they won’t paint another bus in Transit colours to make up for it.

There should repaint one new Electric yutong buses in the Cleveland transit colours if going be all Electric buses fleet?

Can't see them doing another one, suspect the heritage thing is done now, anniversary was last year - we'll probably see them all go slate blue just a shame the Transit one was the last to be completed and can't have operated in Teesside for more than about 6 months.

Do you think Stockton new Electric yutongs well come in new livery when come to stagecoach Stockton depot ?

26282 Cleveland Transit livery is now at Slatyford.

Not my photo. Credit to the person who took it

36965-7 are now tracking on South Shields routes, and 39708/20/1 appear to have come off at lunchtime today, possibly withdrawn?
36968/70 also now working for Stockton, presumably 36969 to follow and these may possibly cause Stockton's MAN/E200s to be withdrawn also.

From the sounds of things - 36467/78 and 36965-7 have indeed transferred to South Shields to replace their MANs.
Stockton meanwhile have gained 36968/70 and reports from an internal source there suggests that 39715 is now parked up without its ticket machine baseplate while 39730 has been taken off service this afternoon (39726 is still on the road right now)

Any idea what the next 262 that’s coming up? And what 272 is going down? Wonder if it’ll all be complete over the weekend

26277 in Newcastle now.

(20 Feb 2025, 7:01 pm)N391OTY wrote 26277 in Newcastle now.

26277 came up Tuesday night. My guess is either 26290 or 26289 as both off road early today

26278 now at Slatyford. 26285 was mentioned to be the one coming last night and is not tracking today, maybe coming up some point today as 73089 has entered service?

Yes 73089 entered service as planned

I believe 27179, 27241 and 27251 have transferred to Stockton but neither are tracking, have they entered service yet?

Only 9 more to do, wonder if it’ll all be done over the weekend or will it be another 9 days?

Hasn’t been a swap between Slatyford and Stockton since Thursday, is it starting up again tonight? I last heard either Sunday (yesterday) or Monday (today) but nothing transferred yesterday. Anyone know anything?

26277 moved north on Friday instead of the intended 26284 - mainly due to it being back in the depot earlier than planned due to its second breakdown that day.

Although 73089 remains the only one out in service, a number of Yutongs are now sat outside in the yard this morning - including 73091

26284 is off the road today, could it be heading to Slatyford today?

73090 has entered service today on 36 service.

Wasn't 26277 one of the first ones to move earlier last week, was it another example which moved on Friday?

Yeah 26278 was the most recent one, should be a one transferring tonight as well but unsure of what.

27247 has moved down to Stockton but unsure what has came up to Slatyford, anyone know? It’s either 26284, 26286 or 26289 as neither are tracking

Edit: it’s 26286 sat in the depot at Slatyford but not used in service today

26285 transferring north tonight

Will leave 26276, 26279, 26281, 26284, 26288, 26289 and 26290 at Stockton for now

What has Sunderland lost due to the 20 electrics entering service?

(25 Feb 2025, 8:34 pm)Michael wrote What has Sunderland lost due to the 20 electrics entering service?

A few E200’s to Shields and 3 E200’s to Stockton to replace the MAN E200’s

The Euro 6, 11 Plate E300's have mostly left on top of these to Newcastle. Unsure whether the rest are planned to go.

Cheers for the info.

Wonder when the 8 gas buses will leave for Reading?

What do you think they’ll start using on the 1&2 when these go? Me personally I think 37314/5/6 as they’re euro 6

You mean 37314/5/6, they came down to be used on service 16 in Darlington

(Yesterday, 8:10 am)busesofthenortheast wrote You mean 37314/5/6, they came down to be used on service 16 in Darlington

Yeah my bad didn’t see the typo. Only one gets used on the 16 then the other 2 could be used on the 1&2

Anyone know when some more new Electric yutongs at going entered service yet at Stockton depot?
