Hi are all new buses of Stockton in service yet I think stagecoach on Teesside man's alx 300 buses have good buses over last few year and it nice to see new buses fleet at stagecoach on Teesside now. I think it time stagecoach Newcastle and stagecoach Hartlepool for new buses this time.

Discovered this earlier but i didn't know whether to post or not with it not being specific to the North East.

Although i will never have to use the website, i will pop on and have a look and see if it is easier to navigate.

Seemingly for the whole country too! Thank heavens - the old one was absolutely crap to navigate. Hopefully they have something at least half decent (something that's also mobile-friendly too...)

Ye, I think they should list the timetables like GNE do for the area's... would be easier to navigate etc.

One thing I would like to see is an interactive bus map too, across operators. Something that shows all bus routes on a given day/timeframe (ie morning/evening peak, off peak, Sundays) along with frequencies.
Something I'd like to see on SC's website, as you say, is a full list of timetables so everything is there at once.

Well the Stagecoach site is back online and its exactly the same as before.

27243 and 27253 not on the road yet I believe. And yes Hartlepool and Newcastle should be receiving new buses before Stockton get any more.

Stagecoach want drivers for their Walkergate depot.

Hi I think stagecoach on Teesside really need new buses have been for long time because in till now with 42 new Enviro 300s and Enviro 300 in 2009 has well. It was because Newcastle Sunderland and south shields where giving us cast off from other depots all the time and that why we need new buses. I never see so many man's single decker in one depot and that why I think we really need them

Lmao, i remember one of my old teachers telling me that in school. 


Kuyoyo mentioned last month about orders... 

His post: A few bits picked up from discussions at the launch today:

These will be the last new buses for Stockton for a while. Next year moves onto renewing the Newcastle decker fleet, while a new fleet for Hartlepool will also be looked into.



This can be found here: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...p?tid=1590&pid=130017#pid130017

Things change etc and they aren't confirmed... just thought id share his post again!

I meet from 1999 gave us cast off buses from other depots that why we needed new buses not now.

Nothing for the 22/22X yet though.

New 22/22X

https://www.stagecoachbus.com/getTimetab...de=XMAO022&dir=OUTBOUND&date=26%2f10%2f2015

From the timetable: "Working in partnership with Cobalt, Service 22 is extended from Wallsend High Street to additionally serve Rosehill, Howdon, Silverlink and Cobalt Business Park.This extended route also provides handy new links to Tyne Met College (at Willington Square). As a result of this new route, buses will no longer stop at Wallsend Metro. However, alternative bus stops are nearby on the High Street."

As I thought, it's a 'partnership' with Cobalt i.e fully or partly funded by them.

New 6/7/8 timetable
