19216 has had its side mega rider stickers applied again ! This bus used to carry an offside advert for kellogs rice krispie squares. 19160 has lost its tunisa advert and been replaced with an ad for dame allans school. The hybrids are receiving nearside adverts too in there advert pannels...

12074 was one i think , not sure what the other one was ! Them 2 and another Hybrid are out of service atm but other than that there looking good.

19214 was on the 40 Yesterday morning if i remember correctly

Ah That will be why I've only seen the MANs on the 32A in the mornings :-)

Yeah think we can safely say it was involved ! A Few ALX300's getting on the 32/A's lately , & Slatyford starting to field 5 Enviro 400's on the X87/X88 routes like they said which imo is Slatyford's busiest route behind the 62/3 ! Can easily just about fill a double deck at peak times.

Looks like 12065 was one of them yeah you can see the 2 darker pannels on the bumper

Yes when someone says there going to ADL I'm sure they've meant Plaxton at anston so probably just a mix up ! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I've heard there not that bad and they'll be fixed in house at Walkergate ! One of them has no windscreen and wasn't able to be driven back...

I've not seen the damage but I've herd from walkergate one of them was damaged more than the other hence why it was towed all the way back to walkergate from chapel house ! I was also told ADL did repair work to some extent but I'm not quite sure so I'll take your word for it plaxton do it...

Was being towed up stamfordham road at around 17:15 ! I seen it but couldn't see any damage at the front so I'm presuming the damage is rear or side ! I thought it was another breakdown when I seen it being towed but found out it was an accident. Not sure if there will be any photos from chapel...

13 in total , 10 of which are already in Service at slaty ! Just 19196/8/9 to be transferred from East to West . I wouldn't be suprised to see Newcastle apply for more green bus funding in the near future to upgrade the 62 & 63 to E400 Hyrbid operation and virtually wipe the MAN fleet out with...

19197 NK57 DWA ADL ENVIRO 400 Walkergate to Slatyford 22470 T470 BNL MAN ALX300 Slatyford to Stockton 19196/8/9 Probably moving this week ! 12071 The only E400H being fixed but its now complete with fleetnames etc ready for service.

Slatyford contribute 14 E400's to the 62/63 19162 (The postcode bus) has been on the X87/88 quite a few times since its swap to Slatyford. 22469 & 22471 have left Slatyford for Stockton .

Yes , From now on sundays the 12 will be ran by Hybrids & more Hybrids will end up doing sunday work in the future on other routes like 38,62 & 63 ! Its all to do with maximising the fuel savings these busses can offer compared to the standard E400 ! You can also see a Hybrid on the 1 early in...

12086 is currently off the road , The latest Hybrid to suffer problems from probably the most faultiest batch of busses ever delivered to a bus company ! Broke down yesterday in denton burn & got towed all the way back to Walkergate Hybrids are set to work the 12 aswell on Sundays from the next...

The 22 still has a handful of MANs on but mostly E400 like the X87/X88

Yeah 12071 still isn't here god knows where that's went but it should of been here weeks ago.

Yeah they used to work the 39, 12 & 12A but the vandals had it in for them when they travelled through some of Newcastles most nortorious areas for crime / anti social behaviour ! Nowhere near as bad now though. It would be an idea but instead they would rather plaster our E400s with...

Sorry i meant 22067/8/9/70/1 :) The ALX400's were bought for service 12 back in 2000 but were swapped with a batch of MANs from Manchester. Due to some of the places they used to travel through in Newcastle back then it resulted in them being heavily vandalised upstairs so they got rid of...

19193/4/5 Walkergate to Slatyford 22021/2 22026/7/8/9/70/1/ Walkergate to South Shields 22049/50/51 Slatyford to South Shields X87/X88 is now officially upgraded to Double - Deck as listed on the Timetable changes for september on the website.

Its rare but you do see an ALX300 on routes like the 15/A 18 32/A , Those routes will be E200 ran by next year. As for the Hybrids , you should start seeing more out now with the problems beggining to get sorted ! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Slatyford's 22049 is now at South...
