At least 34607/9-14 are all now down in Plymouth with Stagecoach South West, no reports of 34605/6/8/15 joining them if they are....

During my North East visit at the beginning of the month, I stayed in Sunderland. The only Stagecoach ride was Gas Scania-Enviro300 28021.

'Connecting The Dots' Enviro300 27242/51 (SN65 OCC/M) both entered service today on the 59/61 cycle. They have replaced 22202/674 - this means just 1 of the original 20 MAN ALX300s delivered to Stockton 16 years ago remains on allocation (22671).

Bar 27243/53 (SN65 OCD/P), which are awaiting branding, the majority of Stockton's new Enviro300s are now in service. They have allow the withdrawn of the last non-DDA vehicles at the depot. 22210/1 have had a stay of execution, and have move to Slatyford depot to cover for the fitting of a new Radio system as well as allowing 22666/7 (V166 OEF, V667 DDC). 22012 (NK03 XJB) has also moved to Slatyford and is supposedly due to be joined by sisters 22011/3 (NK03 XJA/C) with at least 22014/5 (NK03 XJD/E) due to move into a reserve role.

Pointer Dart 34611 (NK04 NPX) did not move to Plymouth and has instead returned to its original depot of South Shields to take the place of 22734 (T734 OEF) as their reserve vehicle. Darts 34568/9/606 have moved or are to move to West Scotland (34606 remains at Hartlepool awaiting a replacement diff) while 34401 remains also in a reserve capacity.

How many of the 03 man's are leaving stagecoach on teesside to go to other stagecoach north east depots.

The last two of Stockton's Enviro300s have now entered service - 27243 (SN65 OCD) entered service on Saturday, while 27253 (SN65 OCP) entered service earlier today as a changeover (onto a 36/37 turn).

22480 has been sold to Alpha Recovery for scrap.

22011 (NK03 XJA) is now once again based at Walkergate depot and entered service on the 12 there yesterday.

On Tuesday I noted 19156 working for Walkergate on service 1. Not sure whether this is a loan or transfer from Slatyford. I'm guessing Walkergate needs more buses now to cover the extension to service 22 which came into effect recently.

19194/6/7 are also now all in service at Walkergate.

Seems 34611 is still in reserve in the North East as on the latest fleet card.
