Doesn't surprise me at all tbh haha

Its the same as the works on Chester Road, where the pipe burst, seem to be taking AGES to fix that.

Any pics of the wheatsheaf??

Aye I seen it a few days ago in Byker and I was very shocked to see it because I didn't notice it tracking either.

One of the electric buses is out and about today, looks like doing the 23 route - as its just passed my house.

Has anymore of Sunderland's Yutongs arrived?

With Stagecoach losing Manchester depots Hyde Road and I believe Ashton to Metroline in January 2025 will we see more buses sent to Newcastle to join 11717-11722?

Putting it lightly 


There's a lot coming

The majority of them have. There's at least a dozen in total at Stockton for storage, plus the 2 at Sunderland.

I've personally photographed 10 of the 20 so far.

Ex Manchester vehicles will be spread around the UK. Of the double deckers, priority is to replace all remaining Tridents and start replacing any ADL Enviro 400s that have a low Euro Rating. Not sure if that includes open toppers.

Also a number of vehicles (25 ADL Enviro 400MMCs) are going to Stagecoach depots at Perth and Arbroath to replace the Volvo B5LH / ADL Enviro 400MMCs (These - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...0680567451) which have been sold to TfGM to pass onto Metroline Manchester for use on the Bee Network. I believe there is also talk of more ADL Enviro 400H being sent into Manchester too, so we could see the last of the 12xxx go from the North East.

If Bus Times is correct it appears that 27159 and 27822 have been swapped over

Explains the driver I didn't recognise driving it not in service yesterday.

Any idea as to why? Doesn’t really make sense imo Walkergate shouldn’t have single deckers anyway
