RE: Stagecoach North East Latest News
There’s something going on at Slatyford. No recent repaints in 3 months the last being 36472. A lot of Hartlepools buses are being painted and older than Slatyford’s! Yes 27727 got repainted the other day but they’ve sent it to South Shields and it’s now showing on the internal fleet list as a South Shields bus. Sending buses out with odd panels, messy livery’s. 26068 been off the road almost a year now 25th February 2025 needed a new engine, doesn’t take a year to fit an engine! 26063 been off the road since November 8th had new panels fitted then colour matched with Beachball and now sitting around doing nothing. Chargers going in on the back yard for the 30/31/36 E12’s then the shed is coming down, for more chargers? Who knows! It looks like it’s heading that way. Buses being left to decline constantly, why invest in them if they’re planning to replace them. People might think I’m crazy for thinking this but it genuinely makes sense. They can then send all of Slatyford’s MMC’s to Walkergate replace the 58/60 plate E400’s and maybe the 26***’s to Walkergate to replace the 11 plate E300’s
