11 of the 241**’s are rumoured to be heading to Walkergate unsure of what they’re replacing but could it be the 277**’s and they go back to Sunderland to replace the gas buses? Or could Sunderland get the 241**’s to replace the gas buses?

Walkergate had 65 plate Enviro 300 this time last year and then down to 11 plate and maybe now 09 plate, not very impressive that.

That’s stagecoach for you, the 65 plates weren’t euro 6 so had to go. The 241**’s they spent money making them Euro 6 so makes sense they want them to stick around in the north east.

Does anyone know if shields are expecting another 2 deckers as previously mentioned on here for scholars services. Had 2 from Sunderland for a couple of days before they swiftly returned

11 brand new 75 plate Yutongs out of the batch of 18 have now been delivered to Slatyford. Monday 29th September they will start to enter service.

37312 has joined the Slatyford fleet from Walkergate. Unsure if permanent but I would imagine so Walkergate shouldn’t have E200’s.

Does anyone know what's happening with 19678/80/81? 19678/81 both transferred to Walkergate early July but neither have tracked as being used since the back end of that month? 19680 I think was VOR at Teesside and not sure if it transferred Northward or not.

19680 is still undergoing engine repairs at Stockton - once those are complete, it is due to transfer to Hartlepool where it is meant to be allocated to the UTC working as well as acting as back-up to Stockton’s electric decker.
