(23 Jul 2025, 10:39 am)Kuyoyo wrote Judging from Bus Times, 27176 27246 and 27247 are all on loan from Stockton along with reinstated 27240. 35189 is also on-loan from South Shields - who also have placed 27245 into service.

27243-27247 are all for South Shields. 27245 was ready to enter service yesterday, and 27244 entered service around 2 oclock today to cover a fouled bus. 27243 is in the middle of its inspection now. 27240 went to Sunderland to cover the yutongs as it was one of the few that were still within their inspection period. 27242 was going to go but developed an issue in the depot before it could leave. 27631 was also sent to Sunderland today but it had parts removed in preparation for transfer so I’m unsure if these were refitted in time for it to enter service to cover the yutongs

Presumably these are to replace 27631 and the four Darts?

Not sure what’s going on with buses today at Slatyford but they’ve had to bring out ex Stockton 27177 and 27615 onto the 6&7’s with Walkergates 27724 & 27725 here as well.

Do you know where the rest of the E300s are planned to transfer to?

27246 and 27247 are both still Stockton's until the additional Yutongs for the depot are delivered - rumoured to be in late August/early September.

Your guess is as good as mine, some are ear marked for the midlands, others Cumbria. The only one so know for certain are South Shields
