This makes no sense to me. They’re wanting to improve emissions around Corner House/Cradlewell on the Coast Road so they’re getting 18 new EV’s for the 307/309 to improve it but if you think about it it’s a stupid decision.

What about the 58/60 plates on the Stagecoach 37/38?

What about the 58/61 plates on the Arriva 306/308?

They’re replacing 63 plates on 307/309 so they’re replacing newer older buses instead of the much older ones. At least make it make sense if you’re going to waste more money

Yeah the fleet on the 37/38 is getting older year by year, not just because the buses are aging, but newer buses are being replaced with older ones. Walkergate lost the 11 plate Hybrids, 65 plate Enviro 300s and 16 plate Enviro 400's, and now loads of 58 plates on there. Don't think Stagecoach would get electric buses for those routes though, maybe they would at Slatyford to replace the 16 plates there and those would come across to Walkergate

The majority of the 37/38 are usually MMCs yes there a few E300s and E400s but these aren’t used on evenings or Sundays.

I don't know whether it's Stagecoach refusing funding but imo the Walkergate routes should be top priority. 

The fact that West Road, objectively the busiest corridor in the North East doesn't have a single electric bus while it feels like every bus on the Great North Road is, is just ridiculous imo. 

The 37/38/39/40/62/63 are the sort of routes which are prime for them, high frequent routes which are fully in urban areas which trundle along at 5 mph most the day.

I been watching video of Middlesbrough buses station in 2026 stagecoach stockton depot when got all new yutongs single deckers i there should have got more double deckers apart from one this U11dd double decker of course that I think? And say stockton depot get another decker this true or not?

All am saying was stockton have a couple of deckers before there electric buses come long stockton 3 double deckers that all am saying?

(28 Aug 2026, 1:27 am)Glen1974 wrote All am saying was stockton have a couple of deckers before there electric buses come long stockton 3 double deckers  that all am saying?

They only need one decker for one school contract. Hartlepool have a diesel one (for now?) they can rob in case of any issues.

Give customers services a call and ask them 03450 2148000 they’d know better than us and since you keep asking the same questions constantly they might be able to give you a better answer because it’s clear when we give you an answer it’s not sufficient enough.

It's why i skip past now

I have read some why that 12188 is too stagecoach north east from Manchester if is right? On some page.

71/72 changed today but aren’t electric anyone know why?

(30 Aug 2026, 8:38 am)Busesinnewcastle wrote 71/72 changed today but aren’t electric anyone know why?

Because we haven’t had the rest of the Yutongs arrive yet and they haven’t trained the drivers. Unsure how long before they train the drivers. The running boards do state vehicle type: EV E12 so they are expected to go on there eventually. It used to say vehicle type: single decker.

I highly doubt an E400 Hybrid will be coming to the north east when Walkergate already got rid of all their hybrids.

Ah right I thought that is probably why. Any idea when they are coming back or still unsure?

Last I heard was 5 weeks but I want to say that was about a month ago so who knows

(30 Aug 2026, 11:10 am)TransitObserver wrote Last I heard was 5 weeks but I want to say that was about a month ago so who knows

Ah right. Well really should be this week or next then

Thank for info mate

If stagecoach north east get some buses of Manchester how mean are getting now then?

We're not getting anything from Manchester jeeze, and if we were, it would be reported here likely by a trusted respected member

Looks like these rumours are causing a buzz!

The speculation seems to be spreading faster than a bus down the A1.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but ADL E200's 36475 (NK61 EDF) is at Sunderland and was on the E's this afternoon.

36478 (NK61 ECN) is at South Shields, caught the latter earlier in the week on the X34.
