RE: Stagecoach North East
The MAN Enviro200's are also considerably nicer than the integral examples as they can actually change into 2nd gear and have power!

They are awful to be a passenger in, with spectacularly bad legroom in most seats. And I say that as someone who is only 5'7...

RE: Stagecoach North East
The legroom is only bad in the rear row the rest are okay but still not great...

Unlike their larger Enviro300 sisters, they are a mixed bag - they only have a small engine so they've been going through turbos like no tomorrow.

Some unusual workings in Newcastle today, sans the loan vehicles:

E400H 12062 was on the 12 while sister 12083 was on the 1. 1-branded Enviro400 19438 was on the 40.
MAN ALX300 22025 was on the 32/32A/33/35 alongside MAN Enviro200 39722.

None of those are especially unusual, depending on the time of day. There's been an Enviro200 on the 32/32A/33/35 circuit near enough every day for the last few weeks. E400Hs on the 12 are a regular occurance (and indeed are allocated to it in the evenings and on Sundays). An E400H does a weekday morning dupe from Heaton to Newcastle College on service 1. 1 branded Enviro400s regularly stray.

This was all day. The Hybrid was on a normal 1 working, not a dupe.
As for the loan vehicles, West Scotland MAN Enviro300 22586 was on the 6/7 while Yorkshire 22543 was on the X47 (in effect, they are supposed to fill the gap for the Enviro400s on the 10/11, 62/63 and X87/X88).

RE: Stagecoach North East
Indeed, but this is Slatyford we are talking about. They usually manage to put a branded X47 bus an other routes at least once a week!
