Hahah! I might be wrong... but given that they're allocating ALX300s to the gas bus services as of late and the spares aren't worming their way onto service 4...

Why is it all of a sudden they are all having problems or are they just doing monthly checks?

I was told the other day by a driver that the one he was driving had terrible suspension issues, so he used that as an excuse to miss a trip or two until the replacement arrived...

To be fair to them, look at how many red spares were covering for Streetlites on the Drifter a few weeks ago compared to now.

As far as I am aware, it's been a full Streetlite allocation on the Drifter now for over a week.

Probables is just teething problems.

Wonder if Stagecoach will order any more, not just for Sunderland but for their other depots, like Stockton, Slatyford etc

That's normal as a 36xxx is contracted onto 10/11/30 on evening services.

It looks as if the Gas Buses were having another Sunday VOR in the depot.

It's already been mentioned a few times.

Walkergate are sending E400s to Glasgow with ALX300s and ALX400s covering while they're gone.
