RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Adrian - 02 Jan 2015
(02 Jan 2015, 4:40 pm)tyresmoke The other one (KF52UAE) was on the 271 - both have been re-certified with no standees as a coach, which don't have to be DDA until 2020 of course.
There were certainly standees the second time I seen the 87 go out. I hadn't seen Kuyoyo's post until I was on the bus back up to Sunderland though.
(02 Jan 2015, 9:16 pm)tyresmoke Couple of updates from the Stagecarriage stable....
Scania VEZ9646 and Olympian L487NTO were both sold in the last few months.
New arrivals recently are Volvo B10M Premiere's M407BFG and N564XSA, Olympian N703LTN and Leyland Olympian H728DDL
Total fleet of 18 - I've completed the fleetlist now toohttp://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/operators/index.php?operator=103
Very nice news re the Olympians.

Impressive!
Hopefully if Stagecarriage is used to host an enthusiasts' trip again, a ride on that can be arranged.

Nice!
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Kuyoyo - 18 Feb 2015
The latest purchase is another Solo - KX04HRL, sister to already owned KX04HRJ.
Information as always from John Atkin on 'buses northeast' Facebook group.
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - tyresmoke - 18 Feb 2015
Vario KF52UAE has been sold as a result
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - R852 PRG - 18 Feb 2015
What do Stagecarriage usually allocate to the 87?
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Tom - 18 Feb 2015
A Vario I think?
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Jimmi - 18 Feb 2015
(18 Feb 2015, 10:14 pm)MarcTheA4 What do Stagecarriage usually allocate to the 87?
Either Vairo DE04XEZ or Solo KX04HRJ usually.
Vairo often appears on Wednesdays and Fridays when KX04HRJ is needed on the 88.
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Kuyoyo - 18 Feb 2015
Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: KX04HRJ
Wednesday/Friday: DE04XEZ or R556LGH, also cover when KX04HRJ is unavailable (due to the corner at the end of Albany Bridge, only short wheelbase vehicles can manage it so the 2 B10BLEs can't work the 87)
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Kuyoyo - 11 Mar 2015
Following the unfortunate news that local operator Leven Valley Coaches will cease trading after Friday 20th March, Stagecarriage are stepping in to replace parts of their network that would otherwise leave large parts of Teesside without a service
Existing Services 455/456, 492, 45 and 84 have been hopefully secured for operation from Saturday 21st March, albeit with minor timetable revisions.
Keep yourself up to date by following us here on Facebook, More details soon!....

Glad to see someone else stepping in, lets hope these new routes don't put pressure on their current routes they run.
Does that mean all the area's which Leven Valley used to serve, are now covered once again?
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Smarty93 - 11 Mar 2015
Still Stainton and parts of marton

Cheers, lets hope the area's get a service again.

Teesside Park also looks like it won't have a direct bus service after next week yet.
