Grateful Thanks to Gregg Collins for this update. Regards Richard

Thanks Richard For Info Of 22047. Regards Robin

Might explain 21156 being in use at Stockton then.
22466 is still away for engineering too.

36978 is the latest to receive "SUNderland" route branding.

Dan. Do you know were 22047 has gone. Regards Robin

Richard has already answered that...

(08 Dec 2013, 8:04 am)Richard Smiles wrote Yes, I have indeed Michael, but it seems you have to be called Dan!, before he will believe you. Non of us have Crystal Balls to know where every bus is 24 hours a day, we ALL just do our best to answer the questions & try and help the best we can. I am sure, once the Fleet Cards are released Next week, we will have a better idea, as to the location of given 22047 & I will tell Dan, so he can tell Robin.

Kind Regards, Richard

What can I say?! My name holds the power of Stagecoach knowledge - you are not worthy! Hahah!

Haha i might have to change my name to Dan then

36961 has also received said branding.

21156 is indeed at Stockton......with Cleveland Transit legal names and 'On Teesside' fleetnames. It appears to be replacing 21104 here rather than being a loan.

36962 has just been taken out of service and replaced by 36093 on 11s.

(08 Dec 2013, 2:49 pm)Dan wrote 36961 has also received said branding.

36973 now carries that branding also, meaning that 36961, 36965, 36966, 36967, 36973, 36974, 36978 and 36979 all now carry the 'Here comes the Sunderland Bus' branding and rear adverts.

These examples should all carry advertisements saying how much money has been spent on the buses and that more new buses are to come.

The buses carrying each rear advert is as follows:
'Something new under the Sunderland Bus':36961/65/66/67/74
'Its bags of fun in the Sunderland Bus': 36969/78/79
Unusure of 36973

Richard. Thanks For Information about 21156 Having gone to Stockton. Have just seen bus photo parked up in yard with the south shields names Removed. Is it true that shields has lost 21156 for good and what will we get in Return. Regards Robin

As reported, 21156 is now at Stockton (as seen below). This means all 3 of the active B10BLEs (unless 21153/5 are still seeing use at Walkergate?) are now at Stockton. As it is a reserve vehicle, it will not be replaced at South Shields.

Thanks Richard For Photo. What about 22047 were is that. Regards Robin

Sorry Robyn it was Kuyoyo who post the pic.

As for 22047... we will find out where it is when the next fleet cards are out....

Whats so important about 22047 like?

The Last I Heard About it was that it had been delicened by Newcastle slatyford Depot. Is that True. Regards Robin

Kuyoyo, Walkergate's B10BLEs are still seeing active service, generally on service 22.
