Are you joking that was here to for the busy service 1 Journeys. Hartlepool really could do with more deckers and full size buses.  

As for the remaining withdrawn buses at Hartlepool hopefully somebody will save them as be a shame if they were lost.

Erm it was only at Hartlepool to act as a spare for the Stockton Scholars that require a decker.

Yes that and for the busy service 1 which is often full leaving Middlesbrough. Why does Hartlepool never get anything good for long.

Disgraceful that it’s been moved from Hartlepool. As an original Sunderland enthusiast, now living in Hartlepool, it’s a crazy decision. No one can defend the moving of one frigging bus.

Enjoying that yous have all decided these are permanent moves and don't seem to have thought these might be temporary because Sunderland seem to have a relatively high VOR (19641 has been VOR since before Christmas, 444 has been VOR for a week, a few 2700s have been off for a while, and we've lost at least two EVs).

Cheers for explanation. Hopefully Hartlepool will have a decker again soon. I didn’t get a chance to ride on .

Apparently it is permanent some of the drivers have been told  it is.

Has anyone heard anything about the EV’s for the 32/32A? If it’s true I’m thinking Yutong E10’s as they’re pretty much the same size as the current E200’s that are used on them now.

EV400 what at stockton is it still on loan at stockton or is it stockton now?

Doses anyone know want on stagecoach orders for this year?

I bought the 2026 stagecoach bus handbook. There’s nothing for the north east on order. Closest is Hull which have 16 Yutong E12’s on order and 20 Yutong U11D’s on order. 

The book could have been published before anything came up about EV’s on the 32/32A at Slatyford but nothing else on the order sheet for the north east.

Ok mate

Was in Sunderland today using the E services. Their timings were dreadful. Must be roadworks, or daft traffic lights. Last year, the 18 would have filled on the gaps . Long gone sadly.

Some of Hull's E12s seem to be already around and have been in service, but not at Hull. 73231 and 73240 have been tracking at Scunthorpe and Mansfield respectively.

When well stockton depot start to get pull-down now it got the go ahead?

Unsure as to why none of Slatyford’s buses aren’t being repainted at the moment, if it’s because maybe the depot is going fully electric who knows but they’re sending buses out with odd panels 10647 is out at the moment with the left side panels being we’ve got you colour, a random red panel on the rear and the rest of the bus in local. Surely that should have been sent for repaint
