Are you sure it wasn't 20841 because it was on its way to Wheatsheaf for a couple of theory tests yesterday around 09:40

why is 16839 at wheatsheaf depot

In future go to the fleet lists, it may tell u there but as from October 2014 - This vehicle has moved from Sunderland (Reserve) to Sunderland (Awaiting Disposal), having been withdrawn due to chassis corrosion


16833 is also at Sunderland for SAFC's park and ride only.

It's currently at South Shields for the X34, but I typically only update the fleet lists when the latest fleet cards come through for Stagecoach.

Well, in London not only do we get buses running throughout the night on New Year's Eve, they are also free to travel on after 11:30 pm  Tongue

Perhaps once you get all those nice new London style quality contracts ....

I like my buses as the are thanks. Red - what a bland colour for a bus.

Yes, but usually on a very cut down timetable, with only some services running. Go North East do the same.

I don't think it would be wrong to suggest that not every single driver has a family, though. It is these drivers who could be working to provide a service; of course, this would be voluntary to be on triple their usual wage...

Assuming these services are commercial - the real question is whether or not there is enough demand to provide a service.

Down in Teesside we have 'O-zone', a song wrote sang by Ace Frehley which is about feeling high of drugs.  I think Stagecoach may be hiding something from us Wink

Regardless if a driver has a family or not do they not deserve to have time to enjoy the festive period.
