Stagecoach North East

RE: Stagecoach North East
I think it's a shame that the Teesside Olympians are going as most of them are in perfect working order, hopefully many of them will be sold to other operators as they still have a lot of life left in them despite being step-entrance. Tridents are awful with Arriva but with Stagecoach's high standards they will probably be fine as Teesside is a lot flatter than County Durham so they shouldn't experience any crawling!

As for the MAN Enviro300's, I would say the engine is perfect for the size, they can get quite a speed but sadly they are horribly unreliable and MAN charge too much for maintenance and after they fell out over a possible Euro V MAN Engine (the reason why they now buy from Scania) they have to sort them out themselves.
