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.

36965-7 are now tracking on South Shields routes, and 39708/20/1 appear to have come off at lunchtime today, possibly withdrawn?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also now working for Stockton, presumably 36969 to follow and these may possibly cause Stockton's MAN/E200s to be withdrawn also.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