Stagecoach North East

RE: Stagecoach North East
Olympian 16833 made a odd appearance on the 36 this afternoon, also working the PM 36A as far as Stockton before being replaced by 22493. The extra 36s today were 17032 and 16834 (which, I believe, did not run off/onto the Macmillan school runs today due to the school strikes, although I'm not 100% certain on that issue).

One recently changed operation is that of the evening Stagecoach buggys. Previously, there were 3 buses on the buggy on weekdays - an decker off Schools (the working ran off the 305) from end of the school services until 1845-ish at the depot, the second off the 38 then took over for 2 hours until 2040 at the depot then the 36 that finishes in Hartlepool at 2025 ran light to Stockton to work a buggy at 2110 meeting the two 36s. Now, due to one of the driver's backshift duties having their first half finishing at James Cook Hospital about half 6 (then light running time to the depot) and their second half picking up about half 7, the 36 buggy no longer runs on a weekday. Instead, the driver now takes their bus off the 37 to Stockton High Street and parks it outside the office with one of the two guys coming off the 36s at 9 taking it back to the depot (I'm not sure if the same applies on a Saturday as the duty has a slightly different second half I understand).
