Makes sense for Sunderland to loose some E200s since the 10/11s must be planned to be fully E300s with the frequency reduction. Wonder what will replace the gas buses then? Surely they can't have long left, given maintaining a full gas refuelling plant seems overkill for 3 vehicles.

Wonder how long before the gas refuelling system is pulled down?

One would assume cast-offs from another part of Stagecoach. 3 or 4 E400MMCs wouldn't go a miss for the X24 however...

I thought there was talk a few years back that the X24 was supposed to get 10634, 10635 and 10636 when Shields got their three for the X34

I'd imagine any E400MMC's would go to Newcastle over Sunderland.

It'll be interesting to see what Walkergate do now with the 22 frequency reduction as it used to be a dumping ground for the singles. Unsure whether it'll cope with them with the capacity reduction.

Some of Slatyford’s perhaps? Saying we’ve got 19 of them. I’d imagine the 364**’s will be leaving Slatyford pretty soon with the Yutongs coming in once the chargers are in.

36467 is now operating for Hartlepool, seemingly not replaced by anything at South Shields.
