Stagecoach North East

RE: Stagecoach North East
Only one Olympian out at Stockton today from my (limited) sightings, 16835 on the 52/58. 22062 broke down with a problem with air pressure in Stockton about 1050 replaced on the 37 by 22668 off the 52/58.

As for non-DDA Compliant buses, the break down is as followed:

Hartlepool: Just 33488 officially (33102/486/91 in addition)
Stockton: 16831-40, 22174/93/5/7-9/201/2/4/6/8/10/1/451/2/4-6/65/6/9-71/93/656-61/3/5/7-71/4 (and 21104/41/2/50, to be removed once 22484/5/92 transfer)
Sunderland: 22172/90/6/214/5/453/62-4/7/8/86-91/4/5/664/6/72/3/5/727-36 and 33101 (33484/829 reserve allocation)
South Shields: None, only depot in the North East to be entirely DDA Compliant
Slatyford: 22472-83 and 33118/21/3-5/8/483/5 (Also 33489/92 in Reserve capacity)
Walkergate: 33120/2/7/825/6/8

On the subject of B10BLEs, 21105/48/52 are all down on the fleetlist as being 'disposal for scrap' as are Dart SLF 33126/487/827. All 4 Olympians are down as disposal however due to the non-standard nature of 16730 (the Capterillar Engine) and the need for a new gear box for 16707, I think 16730's future is as a spare donor to its sisters.
