South Shields based 22050 has been repainted into standard fleet livery ex x34 blue livery.
A strange registration on vosa is for a service CS2 starting in July, to operate every 20 minutes between South Shields Market and New Crown Hotel. This is unusual as the route is already covered by Economic E1 every 20 minutes and services 10/11 every 30 minutes.
Is this going to be a summer special service, could it be using city sightseeing open toppers or am i completly barking up the wrong tree?

I noticed this on ensign bus

Wouldn't it make sense to send these buses with wheelchair ramps to area's which have buses that don't

Simple - they are non-standard with Stagecoach, being DAFs (not Darts as Ensign thinks they are). Plus, despite having a wheelchair ramp, they still don't meet the DDA criteria.
South Shields
Enviro300 27734 was on the X20 for a short bit at lunchtime.
Stockton

Pre-storage checks. Normally they would be done at Stockton but considering South Shields' Engineering Manager is currently acting as Stockton's, easier to send them there (hence why the MANs have been going up there for work a lot more lately).

The two extra 36s today were Tridents 17026 (Park End) and 17025 (Hartlepool). 17026 also worked a normal 36 from Park End to Stockton before being replaced by 22211 (which remains out tonight).
Olympian 16839 was on the 12/14/34, 16835 on the 13, 16831/6 on the 52 and 16838 was on the 34.
RE: Stagecoach North East - kuyoyo - 01/06/2013 12:04
The extra 36s today are 17025 (Hartlepool starter) and 16838 (Park End starter).

Olympians 16835 wason the 11 today, while 16836 was on the 13 and 16839 was on the late starting 12/14/34 board (departs the depot about 1010-ish to do the 1024 14).
RE: Stagecoach North East - kuyoyo - 02/06/2013 21:29
Not yet noted is that Olympain 16840 is now parked in the depot 'dead row' as well as 21150. 21150 has had its ticket machine removed which suggest that is now withdrawn although I didn't check 16840 yeterday so not sure if that has now gone as well (which would leave them short a deceker for schools from tomorrow morning as 9 are needed on a morning but only 8 are needed on an afternoon, unless 17027 or 17032 are now ready for servce).

Trident 17027 entered service today on the Hartlepool-starting extra 36.
