But even Walkergate seemed to have gained more vehicles than they have lost. 27726/8/31-38 transferred in but only 27157-9/27252-4 have transferred out. Can't see why they still have 37312 either

Yeah I don’t understand it either, both Slatyford and Walkergate have more buses than they need. Although when you look at how Slatyford are running they seem to be struggling yet 27727 27729 27730 and 27736 haven’t replaced anything neither did 37301

37301 has been at Slatyford since September last year when the service changes came in as I'm sure 27730 did as well and they haven't gone back

I don't know but could they just not be unofficial reserve until they decide what is going on.

There's still like 20 buses to withdraw after the gas buses when the Stockton electrics come into service and everyone seems to be getting rid of newer E200's in recent months aswell.

The obvious thing would be to start getting shot of the early E200's at Hartlepool but one of them has just been repainted...

I passed one of the gas buses this evening leaving Sunderland towards the A19. Stagecoach logo and fleet numbers had been removed. Unable to ID fully but it was one of the YR14 plates.

Out of those 2 services it would likely be the 12, the ran with ALX300's for years until the 60 plate Enviro 400's came to replace them, and going back further when it was the 12/12A/12B they used to run with Darts

Oh i remember the good old days of the alx300’s however imo I preferred the 60 plate e400s as they sounded nicer and could hold ALOT more people.Question tho what is happening with these 60 plate e400s all of a sudden they have an extremely loud hoover.i have not been on them in ages and then the one day i go on them they sound soo loud.Also another question how long do u think until the 60 plate e400s are wiped from service?

I'd imagine it'll be across all of them, there seems to be a few boards which are already singles - sure someone mentioned they are aswell.

Those 2 boards for example on the 37/38 and 22 are singles every day so assume they are.

I don't think its just limited to the 60 plates either, 19146 (07 reg), 19202 (57 reg), and a few of the 58 plates were all noisy, 146 and 202 were only about 2/3 years old when they were doing that hoover sound, so i dunno if its an age thing and/or something completely different

Re the hoover sound it's to do with the radiator fan iirc. Not sure on the technicalities.

22883, 24117 and 27509 have been moved to Hartlepool for storage pending being sold for scrap

24121 and 24169 are due to leave Stockton for storage in Hartlepool early next week

22889 is still awaiting a decision on whether it is repairable but considering how much has been stolen from it already I can’t really see it being any decision other than scrap.

Is 22874 officialy dead/scrap already as well?

What happened to 24117, looks to have been active until fairly recently?
