Olympians 16836/9 were both on the 52 today, while 16834 also covered a trip. 36-branded MAN Enviro300 24104 covered a trip on the 12 before replacing 17025 on the 36. 17026 was on the 13 while 17027 and 16831 were today's extra 36s.

Olympian 16833 made a odd appearance on the 36 this afternoon, also working the PM 36A as far as Stockton before being replaced by 22493. The extra 36s today were 17032 and 16834 (which, I believe, did not run off/onto the Macmillan school runs today due to the school strikes, although I'm not 100% certain on that issue).

One recently changed operation is that of the evening Stagecoach buggys. Previously, there were 3 buses on the buggy on weekdays - an decker off Schools (the working ran off the 305) from end of the school services until 1845-ish at the depot, the second off the 38 then took over for 2 hours until 2040 at the depot then the 36 that finishes in Hartlepool at 2025 ran light to Stockton to work a buggy at 2110 meeting the two 36s. Now, due to one of the driver's backshift duties having their first half finishing at James Cook Hospital about half 6 (then light running time to the depot) and their second half picking up about half 7, the 36 buggy no longer runs on a weekday. Instead, the driver now takes their bus off the 37 to Stockton High Street and parks it outside the office with one of the two guys coming off the 36s at 9 taking it back to the depot (I'm not sure if the same applies on a Saturday as the duty has a slightly different second half I understand).

17027 on the 58
16835 and 37-branded 22066 on the 52
16831/17025 on the 13, one of which was later replaced by 37-branded 22061 (which had been on the 37 for the majority of the day)
37-branded 22063 on the 59/61
The extra 36s today were 17032 and 16839

A sign of the times in Newcastle today was 35159 on service 32A. Presumably this means that Sunderland have started putting their new batch of saloons on the road.

A number of the Enviro200s have indeed entered service, enabling the following moves:

34610/2/4 Sunderland-Walkergate
35159 Sunderland-Slatyford

34608 is said to be due to transfer to Hartlepool soon, with the rest of the displaced 20 Darts going to Newcastle (1 of the 21 Enviro200s will be a direct replacement for 33101, Sunderland's last officially allocated ALX200 Dart)

When the new e3oo gas buses come to stagecoach in Sunderland will stagecoach on Teesside replace the last b10ble with alx 300 buses


RE: Stagecoach North East - N391OTY - 24/10/2013 22:53

Slatyford also has 35188 now, seen on service 35 today.


RE: Stagecoach North East - kuyoyo - 25/10/2013 18:47

A third Dart reported at Slatyford is 35160.

Very few odd workings on Teesside today all on the 52 in the form of Olympian 16834 and B10BLE 21141/50.
