Despite the remaining Dart SLFs at Sunderland being in the Reserve Fleet (34605 and 35189), or part of the Route Training fleet (34611) they continue to be used in service. Out yesterday on route 8 was route trainer 34611, which has become as ‘pet’ vehicle at the depot.
Enviro 200 36082 which moved to Hartlepool towards the end of last year has recently been on loan to South Shields to cover for MOT/PSV Tests. It returned to Hartlepool yesterday having been put through the Paint Shop first.
The number of Stagecoach North East 241xx MAN/Enviro 300s converted to Cummins Euro 6 engines now stands at 11 out of the 15. Two should currently be at ADL for conversion with the remaining two yet to go for conversion.
