RE: Stagecoach North East
Enviro300 27726 is currently parked in Stockton depot, as is one of Hartlepool's MAN Enviro200s.

MAN Enviro300 24101 is currently VOR after reportedly blowing its engine last night.

RE: Stagecoach North East
Hartlepool Enviro200 was 39670, 24101 was one of (at least) 5 Enviro300's VOR last night... their availability is pretty poor at the moment. Service 36 is seeing plenty of MAN ALX300 operation

What is the problem with stocktons man Enviro300s at the moment with so many being off the road, seems to have been the case for quite a few weeks now

Enviro200 36464/5 were back in service today, 36464 on the normally MAN Enviro200-worked 10/11/30.

In addition to 21105, 21148 has now also been stood down as it was parked in the same spot today as it has been for the last two or so week I've been heading up there.

27724 in service on the E's

36462 had never left South Shields. Its appearance in the depot may have been more some sort of modification by ADL or a minor bit of work (given the fleet will still be under Warrenty).

Been the case for six weeks or so at least. Believe it's problems with the Chassis among others such as engine problems and gearboxes as well. As stated, the ALX300s are now regulars on 36 workings (normally those that finish during the early evening, their appearances on all day workings is unusual apart from as changeovers).

The mention reminds me that there's been several MAN Enviro200s signed in Stockton this past week. 39666 (I think it was) was there Wednesday.
The problems with the MAN Enviro300s might see the B10BLEs hang on in service for a while longer yet, with at least 4 VOR daily, there's a need for the extra allocation.

RE: Stagecoach North East
I'm told 24101 was towed from Stockton to Walkergate today, requiring a new engine. 2 Enviro300's were on service 52 today and 24103 saw use on service 13. Olympian 16837 was the highlight on service 36 until it got taken off in the early afternoon for schools.

RE: Stagecoach North East
37-branded 22066 is on 13s on its first day out in about a week or so.

There's a slight possiablilty that a few B10BLEs will moved to Stockton to increase the fleet while the Enviro300s are playing up. Now the schools are back, we only have the Olympians to play with on Saturdays.
