Should do 27180 is normally alright. 27181 only came back out yesterday so that must have been having some issues

To answer my own question from a few days ago ...

E400MMCs from Stagecoach North East enjoying a few days away at the Cheltenham Races are:
11611/617
11717/722/772

27180 is on a late board today, either they’re not swapping tonight or they’ll have to take it off later! Went out quite late today like it was getting some work done to it before it goes down

come on mate have a little bit of patience, your practically asking for an update every 24-36 hours about stockton,

 if theres nothing to report then there is nothing, asking the question repeatedly isnt going to change that, 

if your fed up of constantly hearing about the 262 and 27 series transfers try taking a break from here for a few days because that is likely to be the bulk of news at the moment.

Sorry mate

27731 is now at Walkergate. 27735 is due to replace 27254 but currently at Slatyford wonder if that’ll happen tonight.

Question is though what is happening with 26289? Does anyone know anything?

What's happened to 26068?
It ran for 3 days following repaint into the new livery, then it's disappeared for over a fortnight.

27181 had been MOT prep according to the fitter at Slatyford, no changes happened last night as 26281 is due it’s 6 month major service and engineering where unable to get it off the road to do it , expected to swap tonight

Cheers mate! Was wondering if they might wait till Monday to do it. 27180 is due back in the depot about 6pm tonight and I think 26281 is about the same at Stockton

Not sure if it’s came up tonight couldn’t see it in the depot when I finished my late shift tonight.

27181 is at Stockton, someone caught it at Middlesbrough today

(16 Mar 2025, 12:48 am)busesofthenortheast wrote 27181 is at Stockton, someone caught it at Middlesbrough today

Yeah it’s 27180 that still needs to come down for 26281

27180 and 26281 still haven’t swapped yet so not sure what’s going on there.
27735 and 27254 have swapped between Slatyford and Walkergate. I wonder if 27254 even though it was rumoured to go to Sunderland could head to Stockton for 26289?

It seems 27180 has gone to Stockton and 26289 has came to Slatyford so I think 27254 will be going to Stockton for 26281. Have to wait and see what happens

11776 has been out in service at sunderland

(18 Mar 2025, 4:10 pm)bob22222 wrote 11776 has been out in service at sunderland

I think that was a mistrack. Tracked on the Sunderland 16 at 11:09 and then the Newcastle 1 at 11:09 so definitely a mistrack.

685 through Haltwhistle.

A public meeting has focused on improving a town's bus service
Residents of Haltwhistle gathered at the library's Community Hub on Friday, March 14 to discuss the future of the 685 bus service.
The meeting was organised as a follow-up to a public transport consultation held on January 17.
Councillor Martin Gannon, Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Transport of the North East Combined Authority (NECA), attended in an official capacity.
The event was hosted by Rachel Mathieson, Labour candidate for the upcoming council elections.
Cllr Gannon highlighted that the 685 bus service is currently a private enterprise, limiting NECA's influence.
However, he noted that this would change in the coming years as the Mayor, Kim McGuinness, and NECA are set to take some control over bus services.
The meeting concluded with the decision to establish a Public Transport Action Group. 

The group aims to 'maintain momentum' and exert pressure on Stagecoach and Northumberland County Council for immediate changes.

These changes include real-time bus arrival times at stops, an easier payment system, a review of the 685 service timetable, and ensuring enough capacity for schoolchildren during peak hours.
Rachel Mathieson will lead the Public Transport Action Group, and will organise a follow-up meeting with representatives from Stagecoach and Northumberland County Council.

Any comments?
Is this a pre-emptive move as the service is largely outside of NECA and thus residents are concerned about what might happen?
Is there a capacity issue at school times?
To which part of Stagecoach would 685 service issues, as per the article, be addressed?  North East or Cumbria or both?

27729 is now at Slatyford does anyone know anything about the E200MMC’s were due to get from other depots to replace the 277’s we’ve got on loan from Sunderland?

Please someone tell me update about Stockton depot on new Electric yutongs and when the rest of enter well enter service there no more. Deliveries of know more about new Electric yutongs come Stockton depot I say more after this ok

Maybe when the chargers are installed and ready to use, as has been explained on numerous occasions.

Thank mate

Surely they'll be the buses, can't see why they'd go back to Sunderland? They've been displaced by the electrics.

Were the Yutongs not to displace some of the gas buses or have they changed the plans? It makes sense to leave them at Slatyford but at this point with the amount of buses moving around who knows. 

They’ve still got 27728 and 27738 whenever that re-enters service. 

27727/29/30/36/37 are at Slatyford but I’m sure once 24115 comes back out, 26068 potentially 19386/19388 there wouldn’t be a need for them?  And with us losing the 35 very soon we’re going to have too many buses.

Not too sure, I've always assumed, and admit there's nothing to back this up, that the 64/65 Plates from Stockton will eventually end up at Sunderland. Noticed that Walkergate swapped 5 of them for the 11 Plates, in recent weeks, which would hint that's where they're going. It would also kind of make sense aswell since it's an upgrade even known it's only a year or so over the gas buses which are going. Seems the Yutongs have knocked out the 11 Plates and bizarrely some E200's, with the remaining there all over the shop, so who knows tbh.

Can't see who else would want them since Hartlepool is a no go, both the Newcastle depots have the Euro 6 issues and I'm not sure South Shields needs anything bar the Darts but unsure a full size saloon is the answer for them either.

For some reason one of the buses that Sunderland’s 277’s replaced is 27254 and that is at Slatyford. Not sure why or for how long. Stocktons 26281 is still to come up. Apparently 19385 and 19389 are heading from Slatyford to Walkergate soon to replace the last 2 hybrids so not sure what we’ll get for them.
