Looks like Shields and Slatyford are starting swaps tomorrow, MANviro heading to Shields tomorrow.

With no new orders for the NE this year, what cascades are we likely to receive?

Only time there is a half decent load is the school time runs and occasionally the 18a, most of the time they run up hylton road with no one on

22428 entered service yesterday on the 11 I missed it and had to get 22413 on the 10 instead

How's about instead of reacting to Robins comments like you are, you simply ignore them, it isn't bloody hard to do now is it.

You don't need to make a post each time he asks repetitive questions and i'm sure the admins of the forum will agree that this kind of behaviour needs to stop now.

This in my opinion is bullying to which I do not condone, you obviously don't know Robin personally so therefore you wouldn't know he has any medical conditions which may lead to such repetitive posts if he hasn't been given the answer he is looking for, or has not fully understood previous responses.

I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot you wouldn't like to be treated in such a way would you, I suggest you both have a think about your actions along with anyone else on here who taken except to Robins comments and what affect they may have on that individual.

Seen elsewhere that some Stagecoach divisions are adopting a revised livery. This is mainly the loss of blue front on single deck vehicles and loss of the blue & orange swoops on older non e200/300 types. Have seen a pic of a pointer dart in this amongst others and was wondering if anyone had further info and if it’s goung to be rolled out nation wide.

Kind regards

Chris

I prefer the current livery we have here hopefully the north east keep the livery the same as it is now in the north east

Robin, it is with great pleasure to announce that the first five swaps of Enviro200 between Slatyford and Shields took place on Sunday; 39705/06/17/20/21 swapping for 36468/70/71/76/77.

It entered service last Tuesday, 6/7s then later went onto Eldon expresses. (noted here: https://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/s...p?tid=2160&pid=221674#pid221674)

It hasn't yet no, still hiding on the pits at Walkergate.

Does that mean they are to be based at walkergate or will they go to slatyford eventually?
Also what are they to be allocated to?

One at each depot. 22428 is on Slatyford expresses again today, it'll probably see use on just about everything.
Much like the Kinetics and remaining ALX300 at Walkergate, 22424 will probably see most use on the 12/22s  and the 18s.

Do you think stagecoach north east get more second hand buses like two 07 man from stagecoach north Yorkshire or just two man stagecoach north Yorkshire we are getting.To replace the 03 and 54 reg.

36082 still in use at Sunderland on 4s.

Tez. Can I ask one question. Do you know when the remainder are coming have just seen all three 39’s in Shields the morning still got some 36’s here. Sorry for being a pest. Still friends Robin

Is it true that Gas Buses will be running evening journeys on service 4?

(15 Oct 2018, 12:57 pm)S830OFT wrote Is it true that Gas Buses will be running evening journeys on service 4?

I'm surprised haven't been, i would of thought they would want the gas buses out most of the time, same as on a Sunday, as i would imagine they would save money using the gas instead of diesel?

PVR for an evening service for gas routes is 13, i think, when you add the 4, that totals 16, really they could also run the 10/11 and 23 with gas buses, as that only adds an extra 8 buses on.


Adding all together, that comes to 24 gas buses, leaving 16 spare in the depot for cover and for any work needed.

RBZ 5459 Do you know if 39715/16/18/19/20 have come with the others from slatyford depot. Robin

(16 Oct 2018, 8:21 am)RBZ 5459 wrote Suspect further movements will happen this coming weekend when drivers are available to collect them, haven't heard otherwise. 
39715/16/18/19/22 are the outstanding ones to arrive at Sunderland, with 36469/72/73/74/75 still to go the other way.

Is Sunderland not gaining anymore 396** MANs apart from 39673?

Scratch that, meant South Shields there - too many numbers and repeated posts flying about! Deleted my original post.

Since the movements have now started meaning it is visible to work out which ones will move, and to avoid any more confusion, here are the intended movements:
36081/82/83/84/85/86/87/88/89/90 [Sunderland to Hartlepool]
36468/69/70/71/72/73/74/75/76/77 [South Shields to Slatyford]
39671/72/73/74/75, 39710/11/12/13/14 [Hartlepool to Sunderland]
39705/06/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/22 [Slatyford to South Shields]

The ones in bold being the ones that I believe have arrived at their intended depot.

Sampled the 16:20 8 departure from South Hylton to the Hospital with Bus 36086, it arrived ontime and I was suprised it was empty, for the full journey nobody attempted to board, and when I disembarked at the Hospital nobody boarded. I'm now on the late 16:28 8 back to the Metro Station and it is very busy with most seats taken.

Would it not be easier for morning journeys before 08:00 to South Hylton and afternoon journeys after 16:00 to operate Not In Service as they clearly don't get used.

36084 is at Hartlepool now also
