Guessing there's some roadworks / temp lights on route?

Not sure on roadworks but Sunderland are at home today.. that doesn't help along with the snow.

One of the 16's was a MAN though.

That is now correct as 19644 has returned from Scotland. If 19644 had still been away, then there would have still been a need for 34401 to be used as a spare.

I know for a FACT it was prepared for service and was available for use in service while 19644 was away but as I have previously said, 19644 has returned so there is no longer a need for the extra spare.

19644 has been seen in Stockton. Is it back at South Shields now?

Yes, it was back in service yesterday lunch time.

Does anyone know why 39708 was on the Team Valley earlier?

Cheers mark For info. Robin

39731 has an annoying buzzing noise.. driver has radio'd the depot and is still waiting for them to see if they need to replace it... that was ages ago.

Until the end of the school year, and nothing, sadly

They'll need something for Asda contracts, unless they give them up.

does anyone know if 22210 still gets used or has it been scrapped ?

As can be seen at the top of the page, 22210 is Awaiting Disposal (collection by the scrapman) as it has suffered an Engine failure according to the Busways Fleet Card.

on 15/12 'Stagecoachbusdepot' replied (on the unusual workings thread in answer to my query) "22211 has been off the road for a good while, 22210 being withdrawn more recently. Both currently parked up at Slatyford along with similar 22666/67/75. "

An ADL E300 did, or tried to do a three-point turn on Marsden Lane outside the Marsden Inn in South Shields - blocking the road in the process.

39672 has been taken off 4s in hartlepool all the warning light came on the dash wouldn't go off

Along with GNE - Stagecoach are also effected by the closure of the Queen Alexandra bridge:

Sun Ops to an incident on the queen alexandra bridge service 11 will be diverted via hylton road for the time being

Sun Ops due to an RTA on the queen alexandra bridge service 18s will divert via wearmouth bridge to southwick sorry for any inconvenience


I would imagine the 19 is the same?
