19151 is away for repair and is currently back at ADL , It will end up back one day but Slatyford has 19157-19163 so it won't make much of a difference especially after 19193-19199 leave walkergate too. E400H's due to different engine layouts have had problems with the generator not...

Yes the engine layout is different ! Newcastle ADL E400H 12074 has already been to Manchester !

They seem like there going to be nothing but trouble just like the old designlines ! Hybrids don't like Newcastle. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- ADL have been on the case with the hybrids ! Apparently there recurring problems were that the generator at times wasnt...

Teething problems , That's why 19193-19199 have been kept at walkergate until there full operational !

19159 was out on the 87 today while postcode lottery plastered 19162 was on service X87/X88 Went past 12074 on the west road and thought it looked very smart and quiet. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- 12062 was back in service yesterday after suffering a broken window just days...

19160,161,162,163 now at Slatyford

Yes around 10 or so have finally entered into service today on Newcastles 39 & 40 ! As expected this has already started movements in the Newcastle fleet ! 19158 & 19159 are now at Slatyford and will be followed if not already by 19160/1/2/3 , Expect slatyford to have 19193/99 by the end of next...

Bit of an update , The X63 certainly wont be going low floor this summer & Walkergate is apparently letting the batch of 55 plate ALX300's go elsewhere , Slatyford will be the recipients of 13 E400's cascaded from 39/40 . 12061-069 12072-076 have all arrived 12061-065 have all received fleet...

Virtually all B10Ms in Newcastle will be gone once these Hybrids enter service. Nice to see 12063 eventually arrive

This was people's theory but according to someone at Walkergate they hadnt decided what these were going to be doing after they a replaced on the 39/40, The X63 isnt really that demanding so upgrading it to DD just for the sake of it seems odd when some ALX300's could run it.

Yeh that seems to be the case & I imagine where they come across B10M's they will be replaced , They desperately need rid of the step entrance busses wherever they can , Not sure about anything being cacaded elsewhere until after the olympics ? Everything down for replacement in Newcastle is...

Yeah the E200's are like plastic toys , Luckily we dont have many of them in Newcastle ! We are halfway through the delivery of the batch of E400H's so hopefully by next week we should start to see some ready to enter service , Once that happens this is what we are likely to see movement wise...

12062 is now here !

12066 & 12067 Delivered last night !

2 more have arrived today 12064 & 12065

Yeh it has arrived here in Newcastle , its E400H 12061 NK11 DGY . All of the hybrids are expected to be delivered by next weekend ! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- New Walkergate Enviro 400Hs (12061 - 12086) 12061 - NK11 DGY DELIVERED 12062 - NK11 DGZ 12063 - NK11 DHA 12064 -...
