A change to working on Teesside means that, for the duration of the work on Newport Road, the 36 and 38 will be interworking at Park End. An additional change is the removal of the decker workings on the 36.

Although not directly related to events on the road, I saw this earlier and thought it may be of interest:

Pleased to see Stagecoach standing up for itself and correcting the 'facts':

Another reason not to let politicians get involved with public transport?

Despite the original mention of the dropping of the decker workings on the 36, instead only one is now used - starting at Park End at 0853, it works the 1031 from Hartlepool before then doing the 1223 from Park End as far as Stockton. It then gets replaced there before going on the 1310 38 to Norton Glebe and the 1330 return to Park End before dropping out of service and running light to Macmillan.

If you have twitter, stagecoach now have its own page, you can find it under stagecoach north east.

It looks like Stagecoach will no longer be operating service 33 in Newcastle. A cancellation appeared on Vosa today.

Most unusually, Stagecoach are using saloon 34613 on service 1 in Newcastle today. It left Four Lane Ends just after 1040.

The latest repaints at Stockton depot are MAN ALX300 22204 22665 and 22066 - the last one previously being 37-branded.

Sunderland's Scania K230UB/Alexander Dennis E300NGs are to enter service this week, with a phased introduction. The remaining 23 are due to be delivered from May.

Details mentioned at the Open Day held at Wheatsheaf on the 14th February includes:

Plans to invest in 80 more E300NGs eventually
Plans in discussion about a Gas-powered Enviro400
NE Management are seriously looking into further Gas-powered vehicles for Sunderland in the future, with a view of potentially becoming a 100% gas bus depot
