I had thought that these were drafted in from Slatyford to increase capacity for the busy Christmas shopping period, but I saw one of these still on the route today. Just a bit surprised that's all!

I hope they do stay, it's rather nice to see these stray onto other services occasionally like the E1/E2/E6

I dunno but with the stagecoach order list just being released, it might do, Sunderland were rumoured to get 25 new buses to replace the Older MAN's.. not sure how many Sunderland have, the newer MAN's with the newer seats are much better, can see them being in service for a while.

i made a thread on the orders - http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...hp?tid=118
