(06 Apr 2016, 2:58 pm)Peppermint Pete Stagecoach North East are certainly receiving New vehicles, but it is up to Stagecoach North East’s own management to announce these at a time of their own choosing. I seem to recall that a young chap (called Dan ?) now working for Go North East posting images of some of their new vehicles before Go North East themselves had held a formal launch/unveiling.

It was interesting to note that shortly afterwards the photos disappeared & he went off the radar for a few days. My guess is he probably had his knuckles wrapped by the company for publishing photographs before Go North East themselves had made their own announcements, so you have to be very careful in these situations. Angel

I seem to recall that an old chap (called Dicky?), that would regularly post plagiarised Stagecoach fleet cards as his own work, in the form of a PDF document. As impressive as skills in creating embossed shapes and bold italic fonts are, they're probably best kept to an MS Publisher for beginners evening class.

Unfortunately Dicky appeared to be deeply offended by the (quite apt!) 'dick by name - dick by nature' comparisons from certain members, that he threw his toys out the pram, and took a hiatus from the North East Buses forum. 

It's my guess that he used his hiatus to count HIS many CONTACTS over and over. Fortunately for him, it's resulted in acquiring the ability to count to five in the process, and without using any fingers or toes. A great day all round.

I agree, but that's what you get from a pointless poster.

If Stagecoach are receiving new vehicles, what do people think the likelihood is that these will be based around the north-east and east of Newcastle; ie Quorum/Cobalt where SNE seem to be taking an interest lately?

And if so, if there are deckers involved going to these routes, will there be many cascades of E400s to the likes of the X82, X47 etc to make them permanent decker routes?

Will stagecoach be using the stored darts 34562/65/67 or what's going to happen to these as at the moment they're going to waste?

We're now a week into the Middlesbrough changes and its thrown up an interesting workings, thevxx07 12s on a night interwork with the 38, meaning every two hours there's a Zone on the 12 and an unbranded bus on the 38 (tonight 24112 is the second bus)

What are 34550/64 usually allocated to?
And if rare workers are on 36s at weekends what bus is it that'll be on?

Hartlepool's Darts should be allocated to the 1, but do appear on the 3/4 occasionally from my last visit (which was before Christmas).
The 1116 36 from Hartlepool can throw up something odd as that is one of the last boards to leave the depot so can get whatever is left.
