80000 is back at Stockton and entered service this morning on the Sedgefield school run - whether it goes out on the 58s on that board will be revealed in the next few minutes.
73164 has also entered service this morning - it’s presently tracking on Bus Times as 27507 pending the reallocation of the baseplate.

Did 73157 break down this morning on the X40? Looking at bustimes it might have.

I’m surprised they’ve gone I’d have thought the 271’s would go first. I do wonder where the 272’s will end up.

27161 is at sunderland

(28 Jun 2025, 6:43 pm)bob22222 wrote 27161 is at sunderland

Understand 27160 27161 and 27164 will be going to Cumbria via Wheatsheaf Paintshop for repaint

27172 and 27173 have disappeared from Slatyford guessing Carlisle or whoever have picked them up

27169 gone (27 June) and already in service in Morecambe.

When new yutong U11dd double decker come to stagecoach Stockton depot well old livery or new livery saw new single deckers for stagecoach in livery?

27913 just arrived at Slatyford to swap with a Yutong. Be interesting to see where that’s bus is going

Into service today at Stockton are 73154 on what is normally the decker-worked turn on the 57/58 (80000 still required for Driver Familiarisation before it can used on the full length of that board rather than just the school bit) and 73168 on the 59 - the later is tracking on Bus Times as 24120 (baseplate requires reassigning).

Let me ask my magic ball. Honestly no one knows wait and see

27162 27170 and 27913 all parked up at Slatyford. 27162/170 will be destined for Morecambe or Carlisle but it will be interesting to see where 27913 will end up

27913 will probably go back to sunderland

If stagecoach Stockton depot is full Electric feet now we'll stagecoach Stockton depot get Electric buses to teach new drivers now not diesel buses is that right or not?

27242 and 27251 both in service in Shields today

Didn’t expect that, wonder if Shields will be quite of a few of them 272’s then keep them in the north east they’re lovely buses.

27740 is on the Slatyford 63, I wonder if them 2 have been brought in to allow 27739/740 to leave South Shields as they’re Euro 6

Odd idea - given 27739 and 27740 are meant to be the back-up for the X34.

Likely cover for deckers off to Silverstone? NE usually send a few down there

27238 has been dispatched to Hartlepool - supposedly to replace a Dart that won’t start once switched off!

I think it’s all loans for Walkergate sending buses to Silverstone. However 27242/251 are replacing a couple of darts.

19678 and 19681 are at Walkergate. I’d imagine loans for silverstone buses but could they be loans turn permanent since Stockton won’t need them anymore going fully electric.

They are supposedly meant to be coming to Hartlepool so yes possible loans.  Hopefully Hartlepool get a few of the 27s on a permanent basis as well, it’s not just capacity it’s to do with replacing a fleet where half the buses are knackered and unreliable.  The Man 18.220 might be older but probably more reliable than both the remaining darts and enviros are same with the other man’s.

probably not. Here in York we have a fully electric fleet with First however the Two driver trainers are both still diesel namely 69001/69002 even though there are no fueling facilities at James st. depot.

Thank mate

Nice little dig there back from Stagecoach about the North East pissing the BSIP money down the drain instead of spending it on bus priority which would help services like the 12 stay viable all while Kim is just giving her usual soundbites and nothing constructive.

Are we sure this isn't just standard Stagecoach scheduling incompetency? I've never used the 12, but if it is anything like the Stagecoach routes I use on a daily basis then it'll have a wildly optimistic timetable that can only be achieved with a rocket powered bus on the 32nd day of each month. 

As an example, not a single evening peak express bus from Eldon Square gets any additional time to get to Cowgate, despite the traffic along the A167 adding 5-10 mins of delays to each trip (even during school holidays). 99% of Stagecoach buses sit in this rather than utilising the empty bus lane to the left hand side - so I'm sceptical of how much they'd actually use these new bus priority measures that they're crying for.
