I was speaking to another Stagecoach in Sunderland bus driver this morning as she was driving me to and from school (on different bus services too, so it was quite a pleasure) and despite being late, she was still happy to talk to me while I stood at the front...

I asked her about the number of vehicles Sunderland are to inherit, and she said that it was 25 to her knowledge too! Kuyoyo, do you mind if I ask you where you've retrieved your information regarding these vehicles? I mean, I know these drivers aren't enthusiasts and probably do the job to get money to put food on their table back at home, but surely they'd have some knowledge on the vehicles entering the fleet - given that they drive for that division of the Stagecoach North East subsidiary?

Regarding the Alexander Dennis Enviro 300GS bodied Scania KUB270s - do we know a number before May when the Green Bus Funding is announced or not?
Impressive contraptions nevertheless:
